Texsox Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 The big money managers aren't coming into this train wreck so financial limitation isn't nearly as limiting than the crap players and a meddling owner and his "special friends". Really pick almost anyone and hope you get lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 I would have much less problem with someone cheap but intelligent than I would with a “baseball folks are back in charge” hire like Nevin. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFutureIsNear Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 The crazy thing is there really aren’t any big name high $ managers available other than maybe Skip. Is Jerry really going to make this decision based on like $500k savings? And as soon as I typed that I realized it was a dumb rhetorical question. Of course he will. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t wait to see the damage Getz does in the dumpsters this offseason. Should be exciting! Edited October 28 by WhiteSox2023 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, they're not "LEAKING EVERYTHING ON PURPOSE TO PROVE THEY'RE GETTING GREAT OFFERS" like they did in a previous trade discussion, so no worries if we haven't heard every name yet.

Rey21 Posted October 28 Author Share Posted October 28 I’m sure there are fantastic candidates who are cheap but the chances of this organization finding that person are incredibly slim. Another reason why Jerry Reinsdorf should be out of professional sports he just chooses not to accept the fact that in order to make money you gotta spend money.

Fielder Jones Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 (edited) Heyman is a known tool used by the agents. Have to look at these tweets of his in that lens Albernaz could be close to finalizing with the Marlins and Heyman is putting it out there that the Sox are interested so as to bring up his contract number with Miami Edited October 28 by Fielder Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know you won’t be any better but you just hope you won’t be worse off than before but you can’t be sure until the Novocain wears off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 (edited) Hopefully we're all beyond arguing about Covid-19 vaccinations at this point...he had to stay in Canada for 14 days because of Canadian policies, fwiw. Plus the 2-5 career MLB managerial record fits right in, lol. .286 X 162=41-121 On September 6, 2017, Venable was named a special assistant to Chicago Cubs president Theo Epstein.[97] Venable served as the first base coach of the Cubs in 2018 and 2019.[98] For the 2020 season, he was shifted to third base coach.[99] On November 20, 2020, Venable was announced as the bench coach of the Boston Red Sox.[100] On May 29, 2021, Venable managed his first MLB game, filling in for Alex Cora in a game against the Miami Marlins, as Cora was in Puerto Rico to attend the high school graduation of one of his children; the Red Sox won, 3–1.[101] On August 7, 2021, during a series in Canada against the Toronto Blue Jays, Venable tested positive for COVID-19, resulting in Venable and first-base coach Tom Goodwin (deemed a close contact) quarantining away from the rest of Red Sox personnel.[102] During the 2022 season, Venable led the Red Sox for six games in the latter half of April after manager Cora tested positive for COVID-19; the team went 1–5 in those games.[103] On November 16, 2022, Venable was hired by the Texas Rangers to be an associate manager alongside Bruce Bochy.[104] Edited October 28 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falstaff Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 (edited) What is the opinion of Phil Nevin getting the job? I remember him as a ballplayer, he had a decent career.
