Per Heyman’s article tonight: ”The leading candidates for the White Sox job are believed to be Rangers bench coach Will Venable, former Angels manager Phil Nevinand Tigers bench coach George Lombard. Venable is a guy White Sox GM Chris Getz always liked. Would be interesting to see him take the White Sox job a year after turning down the Mets for an interview.”

In regards to the header of this thread Get rid of him, let him thrive somewhere else

Skip Schumaker or Will Venable please

Skip Schumaker, Donnie Ecker, or Will Venable for me

Or Venable as manager, Ecker as hitting coach?

Schumaker or Venable would be my choice

Very important hire, have to try and establish a culture, doesn’t necessarily need to equate to wins right away but with all the young players they need someone who can build a foundation and hopefully grow with the players too

Haven’t seen one formed - figured I’d start one. Heyman reported that Phil Nevin and Will Venable are a couple names on a “long list” of candidates for the job. I’d be ecstatic for Venable but zero shot he comes to Chicago, I’d be pumped for a Skip Shumaker also. Inevitably I think it’ll be an outside hire whom none of us expected.

“if I’m him though, they’ll probably so many openings though (Yankees come to mind right away) why would you pick the Sox.” More so saying if the Sox actually have a chance to get him, meaning Jerry OKs it, then he should be the guy IMO. But like you and everyone has said this organization never does the right thing

He’s being ran out, there are plenty of Marlins fans who are pissed that he’s gonna be gone after the year, new president wants to pick his guy.

Im all in on Skip Schumaker, if I’m him though, they’ll probably so many openings though (Yankees come to mind right away) why would you pick the Sox. But that’d be my first choice, Francona I’m just worried about his health getting in the way but he’d be my 2nd choice

Robbie Snelling an MLB Top 100 but not Baseball America

Morosi wrong again - Per Chris Cotillo Red Sox Beat Writer Roman Anthony was never in the lineup today.. false alarm

Roman Anthony scratched ?

Think it’s pretty obvious teams are putting a higher price tag on their positional prospects

They did also probably accomplish raising the price for Crochet, Skubal making them potentially immovable to the contenders.

Wishful thinking - that Rogers deal just kept Crochet’s price tag incredibly high Realistic - Chris Getz is a turd and has shown us he has no idea how to negotiate

There are plenty of teams still interested in Crochet, to think this “bombshell report” completely dries up his market is wild to me. He’s still one of the 10 best pitcher in all of baseball this year, him wanting to get paid more than $800k per doesn’t change that fact. I think he still gets moved and if he doesn’t I’m hopeful that he finishes the season strong and gets a potentially even bigger haul in the offseason.

Sounds like a bunch of teams want him on their team very badly and they’re doing everything they can to try and lower his price. Sox will still get a HAUL for him

There’s teams we’re not talking about either DBacks, Red Sox, Cubs, Brewers, Mariners could trade for Crochet and swap one of their pitchers for a big bat, Guardians, Rays, etc. Crochet being controllable opens up so many possibilities for teams who aren’t just looking for this year but next also

Wheeler, Nola, Crochet That wins you a WS IMO Get Aidan Miller back too

So who do we want as the next manager??

Well we all know the Sox have players other teams want, those other teams are calling/texting Chris Getz and Josh Barfield shooting the sh*t asking what they’d need in return for Robert, Crochet, Fedde, Kopech, Brebia, Pham, etc, hell probably even as you read this post Getz just got a text. Think it’s fair to assume they’ve spoken to every team in playoff contention about a number of possibilities and none of those teams have met the asking price to move those players right now.

That’s fine with me I’m just saying if the O’s are asking for him it’s gotta start with Mayo or Basallo + Kjerstad other I’m just moving on

Robert Murray on his Baseball Insiders podcast today starting at 23:50 had some interesting info specifically speaking to scouts, players, agents that he spoken to about Crochet. If he goes to the Orioles, Sox need to get Mayo or Holliday back, sorry not sorry, his upside is insane and this is his first year as a starter
