I’m serious, people are acting like we just traded Robert, Eloy and Giolito for Pujols and Upton. This isn’t like college basketball where a bad hire can cause everyone to transfer and not sign recruits.
Why? The talent is hopefully so good that the manager doesn’t matter. Now if all the core guys suck the next few years, it won’t matter who the manager is.
I’ve had about three days to prepare. Now if someone told me the Sox were going to massively slash payroll and Timmy and a few others hated the hire, I would be right there with everyone else.
I remember hearing a stat before 2016 that there was one locker room in MLB where every white player voted for Trump and every minority was for Clinton.
I think people will be shocked at how many teams cut payroll. Hell, the Braves just declined O’Day’s 3.5 million dollar option and he was great last year
People are acting like they hired Hitler to manage. Have you not looked at the demographics in baseball? There are plenty of players who agree with Tony’s views on things.
