If they don't feel he's the guy the org wants handling Strausburg coming back next year and the eventual debut of Harper then it was the right move by the org.

Furthermore, Riggleman signed a contract and just walked away from it. That's bulls***. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I kinda see Riggleman's side. Rizzo is tough to deal with, so he's either getting paid for 1.5 years now, or he's starting The Summer of Riggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Riggs wanted to have a discussion and Rizzo said there is nothing to discuss. He was the lowest paid manager in baseball. Makes me think Rizzo is a little difficult to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ihe was Boers and bernstein at 1:30 I believe he ended up having to be rescheduled due to "phone problems" He and his agent rolled the dice and lost, but I'm sure they were 100% aware of this potential outcome.
