Steve Cohen had a “waiting period” too.

Epidemic across much more than just sports

Seems like the consensus is everyone thought Grifol Shoulda been the guy in 2019 for the Royals, but the royals did their very best White Sox impression and anointed Matheny God Emperor

You can look at it like that, or view it as a guy that understands what the nerds are telling him.

That was Dayton Moore's schtick wasn't it?

They maybe win 3 or 4 more games. Wish Tony was THE Problem, but he was only A Problem

because it's the White Sox

I think grading a managerial hire immediately, with the exception of very obvious F's ie TLR or Ozzie, is basically impossible

Seeing people saying it's a bad sign that the royals passed on him, but, uh, why would a new GM want to hire in house when you're taking over a dumpster fire

Sure, why not.

We’re agreeing here

These are the people telling on themselves. Why are they mad at TA and not, yknow, the guy who actually called it racist in Tony.

I don’t really care about the fans, cuz fans in general are blind. All I’m getting at is Lorenzo Cain backing up Hader after the n-word thing is a stark contrast to all the Yankees throwing JD under the bus.

Remember when Josh Hader got caught using the N word and Lorenzo Cain went out and told everyone he’s not that guy?

People who are saying he shouldn’t have been suspended are absurd. he should be suspended for causing two dust ups against one team in one week as a baseline.

He’s also coming off knee surgery and no spring chicken, so it’s not exactly unwarranted to be like we gotta see how he looks.

Kinda hilarious that both of the last two seasons we went in think the rotation was fucked and then turned to wait do we have the best rotation in baseball?

I love TA I hope he’s here for a long time. But I get the idea he’s the type of player whose game falls off a cliff as they age. Let’s let him get to 32 before we have this convo.

I don’t think it’s very hard to imagine an MLB organization would get jumpy at the idea of a gay man being a trainer, or maybe more specifically players having a problem with it. but I think it’s just as reasonable to think that the person who told Ball was acting on a hunch.

They just suspended him for two years

Hey man, if you wanna run with this that’s fine, more power to you. But why are you still here if you’ve already made up your mind.

Yes knowing absolutely none of the facts I think it is high time that Major League Baseball step in and force a sale of the team.

You’d have no idea this is the case

Blaming anyone for getting hurt is ducking stupid. (unless it’s a case like eloy last year)
