Great stuff!

Read where he said he’s looking to throw a lot more splitters next year. And yes, the Sox were extremely close to picking him. From all accounts, he was their choice if Hawkins was picked before them.

His teammates loved him I thought

Some of the expected deals I’ve seen for Joc blow my mind. I know I wouldn’t want the Sox going into ten million plus for him

Some of the trade proposals I’ve seen from Sox fans in their offseason projections are insane. Talk about selling Cease at the lowest value possible, and it’s also interesting how little Sox fans respect Vaughn’s potential.

We’re on the same page, and it’s one of the few ideas Stoney hasn’t dismissed

Well said, and I think the most likely scenario right now. I bet we hear Thursday if Tony decides to take the job.

Giants are not selling this offseason from all accounts. Santander makes more sense.

Every righty on the Cubs

A trade for Calhoun seems like something the Sox would be interested in

What if it’s a one year deal for Tony with a “manager in waiting” that Hahn has wanted to bring in but doesn’t have enough experience?

I don’t, but I think it’s more realistic than a lot of us thought it was

So if Tony does accept the job, does everyone think the Sox aggressively go after upgrades this offseason? I’m optimistic they go big based off Jerry wanting to put TLR in the best position and this tweet https://mobile.twitter.com/stevestone/status/1317295249291497475

Sox were better than the A’s in my opinion. How many positions were the A’s better than the Sox? Sox just choked in game 3, end of story

He said today it’s Tony’s job for sure if he wants it, and he thinks he does

He absolutely, positively won’t be. Scherzer won’t be either.

A trade for Kole Calhoun for one year makes sense if they want a lefty power guy.

Players will strike if salaries are that low

I like Ofman, but pretty sure he’s been wrong with every Sox related nugget the last few years.

Has anyone brought up Ron Gant accusing Tony of not getting along with black players? https://nypost.com/1999/02/25/rickey-la-russa-is-no-racist-but/

Stoney went from saying everyone will love the pick to saying people won’t be happy....yikes

On the WS Talk Podcast, Geoff Blum said Hinch and Springer are extremely close and thinks Hinch would try to get him to play in Chicago

I completely forgot this, but don’t forget Stoney has been preaching about how baseball teams should have “two managers”. I wonder if they’re implementing this by having TLR teamed up with an analytics guy. Stoney says we will all be happy, and I don’t think he would say that if it’s just Tony and his old crew.
