soxfan49 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I'd love to check my phone tomorrow at work at 11:02 and see "Sox will be moving Renteria to another role inside of the organization" all over twitter 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tray Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 If anyone thinks Hahn is under pressure consider the Yankees situation: "Not even the addition of ace Gerrit Cole for a $324 million, nine-year contract was enough to make the difference. Now general manager Brian Cashman faces a series of key decisions. Big league batting champion DJ LeMahieu is eligible for free agency along with pitchers Masahiro Tanaka and James Paxton. New York has a $17 million option on pitcher J.A. Happ the team made sure would not become guaranteed and a $10 million option on 37-year-old outfielder Brett Gardner, the last link to the Yankees’ 2009 champions. Giancarlo Stanton is expected to keep the remaining $218 million and seven guaranteed seasons left in his contract rather than opt out, and reliever Zack Britton appears likely to stay under either player or club options. " Despite an $84 million payroll as adjusted for the shortened season, third-highest in the major leagues, the Yankees lost to the $29 million Rays, a team whose spending was third from bottom. Tampa Bay beat the Yankees eight of 10 times during the regular season,..." https://www.pantagraph.com/sports/baseball/professional/disgusted-and-dismayed-yanks-face-big-decisions-for-2021/article_68f0ff30-ae99-5dd1-93d1-60e8002b2e56.html Giancarlo Stanton is expected to keep the remaining $218 million and seven guaranteed seasons left in his contract rather than opt out, and reliever Zack Britton appears likely to stay under either player or club options.

Chicago White Sox Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 As much as I despise Ricky’s in-game decision-making, I’d probably be more excited about a Cooper exit at this point. It’s a time for a new voice at the major league level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackout Friday Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 major announcements before the playoffs are done is faux-pas. I think a manager being fired qualifies. Coach retiring, no. I don’t expect much other than basic stuff. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking exactly what you said, though. I don't remember many managers getting canned during the playoffs 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tray Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) After listening to the podcast with Stone (where Stone laid Renteria's shit bare) I don't see any way the Sox bring back Renteria. I would not want Getz promoted if that is what their thinking is. Getz reminds me of Ventura in some ways.
