I would take Ozzie over Grifol but the game has passed Ozzie up.
I can't imagine that there are many good candidates out there that would want to manage this train wreck. The roster sucks, the minor league system sucks and the owner refuses to spend money. Much like the roster, we are stuck with rejects.
Exactly how I feel.
I know that this is a business but pulling these stunts, after massively underperforming, is infuriating. JR, you are the problem sir. It's not the city. It's sure as hell not the fans. It's you.
Brooks Boyer, another yes man for JR. He's managed to live off his luck of working for the Bulls when they didn't need marketing. He's had 1 good marketing campaign in his entire run with the Sox and he hired a company to do that. I look forward to the day the team is sold and all these clowns lose their jobs.
I sure as hell didn't tune in to watch good baseball being played. Jason at least did his best to make it enjoyable. I don't understand why so many Sox fans don't like him. Yet on a national level, fans LOVE him and recognize his talent. How they let a homegrown fan leave is beyond stupidity. But not surprising considering what a joke this franchise has become.
A coworker has connections to someone on the team. He heard there was a raid at Williams house and that computers were confiscated. He also heard that his computer(s) at Halas Hall were also taken. The rumors are very bad.
Griffol was hired because that's who Getz wanted. Griffol is not going anywhere. And for those thinking that this hire was in preparation of JR selling in a couple of years. That makes no sense. If JR was going to sell in the near future, he would try and MAXIMIZE the value. This hire does the opposite.
