Does he have a little brother or cousin I can interest you in?

You'll get mediocrity or more bargain bin retreads and like it!!! 😄 He's a very good player but the Sox need pitching, pitching and more pitching more than another infielder.

As Charles Comiskey would have said 8 of 11 /= 14 of 14

Sure but they have done that...without starting over while Braun and Yelich aged out. Traded Hader D.Williams Peralta, etc. Consistently top 3-5 farm system. Jesus Made is one of the best prospects in the game and not that far off. 8/11 playoffs

Really underrated. If he'd have pitched in another park for another team, he might have a bronze plaque.

Sox are probably the last team that would go after him

I'm reading that the Reds are going to trade De La Cruz. I wonder if Getz would try and trade for him.

Powell was a bandaid to try and make them look competitive...which was flawed from the start. They need a true identity and run and gun was the idea...but when you play such awful defense...getting into transition isn't easy. this team is painful to watch, and I fear Matas will be sacrificed due to Splitter's inability to game scheme. Really thought he was going to be a good fit, but it is real bad right now with not a lot of hope in sight.

And Tulsky (who just won a Stanley Cup GM'ing the Hurricanes) is the guy Danny Wirtz passed on to hire his buddy Kyle Davidson.

Sounds like Chen is the one about to go scoreless

At times it looks like high schoolers trying to pass the ball around the court against NBA players. Giddey has stretches where he turns it over seemingly every possession.

Wonder how many times she witnessed Cy Chen go 7 scoreless vs. The Sox

Like I said, Milwaukee, Cleveland and Tampa are incredible at what they do, but if you can't keep your guys for more than 4-5 years, it makes the loooong runs nearly impossible. You see it in their ups and downs. It's great Milwaukee developed a guy like Misiorowski, but if he ends up a Dodger in two to three years, then the Brewers have to start all over.

Jerr-y! Jerr-y! Jerr-y!

I haven't watched a second of the Bulls this season, and I am feeling pretty good about that.

It is amazing how after that Keith, Kane, Toews etc core aged out, this franchise has done NOTHING. It reminds me of going from the Roenick, Belfour etc, era to wandering lost in the woods for a decade.

I'd start with, what's "no experience"? I would think a big skill needed for the job is the ability to command respect. A lot of dudes with major league playing experience walk right into a manager's position, and they have that. Pete Rose comes to mind. Didn't Larry Dierker do that for the Astros for a time? He stepped out of the booth and took his team to the playoffs 4 of 5 seasons. Jimy Williams took over and didn't do much better with the same team. Phil Garner reached the apex with that crew when he lost the 2005 World Series. Nowadays, a lot of the technical stuff is handled upstairs - batting orders, bullpen usage, etc. He makes the in-game calls. It comes down to what the Mariners think their team's shortcomings were. They seriously underperformed expectations at bat, didn't they? I don't know if a hitting coach as manager elevates their offensive game. As it seems to be the trend right now, clearing out the old school old-heads for guys who are open to discussing statistically guided gameplans, and a focus on some of the newer tech and philosophies mixes it up. Kanzler just ran Development for the Cubs the last three years, and as we all know, that means he runs the day-to-day for every aspect of an organization. So, is he "really" inexperienced? Kidding aside, I'd imagine he knows the rules, will have a coaching staff to help him out with getting the bullpen loosened up at the right times, etc. This move does look aimed at Raleigh, Naylor and Hoo-Rod, and maybe Kanzler's ability to create a safe-space and a gameplan for them to excel.

Ew, yuck. Ah, well, it is an NRI and we might not even play this season.

October 2025 surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder.

Sooner they clean house the better - how the current front office has gotten so much grace is beyond me.

TJS guy, or something else?

Showed promise in ‘24

Hasn't pitched in over two years. Has a connection with Bove.
