They still need players . If it's a 1st timer we'll hear the normal stuff about JR being cheap so a 1st timer would be the only one to accept the salary offer. A new manager will be in place during the 1st week of November if not earlier. Expand And if it's a guy with any experience as a major league manager, he'll be a "retread".

caulfield12 Posted October 25, 2024 Share Posted October 25, 2024 (edited) Honestly...keeping Sizemore would probably poll as a more popular move with what's left of the fanbase than hiring Phil Nevin.

Y2Jimmy0 Posted October 26, 2024 Share Posted October 26, 2024 I kind of enjoy the info that Harold provides to the board (for free by the way).

Expand I think it’s more of people being frustrated with his info if it is truly accurate, because it is usually bad news for the Sox (e.g., TLR running interviews, etc.).
