If our FA splash is Quintana and Pederson then we have failed. Pederson last year is basically our DH who can play the field. Might as well buy him a parrot.

You would be better off drinking a nice lukewarm glass of hot dog water than to waste time trying to figure this out.

Everyone was done with Gio as well. Lets see if this guy can do something with him. Reylos pitching style completely changed from the time he was with the Nats to our version of him. Lets De-Cooper him a bit and see if he is still poop. If he still sucks after working with Katz then sure jettison him to the 4th ring of hell.

Great hire. He needs to work with Cease and Reylo stat.

I believe JR has been using Bob for years to get stuff out. I have a singular opinion that JR leaked the Manny stuff on purpose hoping that someone else would win that large contract. Oh we put up a valiant fight but someone else just outbid us. Oh well, back to the drawing board. I think this is how JR uses Bob. My other thought is. They dont care about the coaches. Its the TLR show. They dont need to hand over anything to future coaches. Anyone would be thrilled to be on this team. So it will happen when it happens is the TLR view.

The one thing this validates. Bob Nightingales source is JR. JR uses him for his own purposes.

He sounds delightful to work for.

Maybe during the opening video for the game we can have him coming out like this and then rising like a phoenix he comes out of the dugout in his white sox garb. Yuck.

Eventually age hits everyone. I am glad he is excelling however he is not going to be here in his 40s being this version of Abreu. Eventually time gets everyone.

Well for all of those who wanted TLR to zoom the players to talk to them and introduce himself to them. Well that ship has sailed. Not that it was going to happen.

Not a tier 4 guy like they like.

Well nothing to say about this hot take. LMAO

I look forward to our Tier 4 slightly broken, probably old, hopefully we get that one last year of thunder from them typical FA guys we will get. The typical sox FA. What aging NL former star that is about 38 are we going to pencil in in RF. Do we have a broken down FA pitcher that might have one last year in the tank. This was always the plan. Remember 2nd place is okay with JR.

If expensive free agents decide not to come here how does that hurt JR. He doesnt care about the media. He doesnt care about the fans. He wants to right his wrongs with his friend.

Well next up to make this worse. Its when they decide to fill his bench with former sox players. Bobby Jenks for pitching coach is an obvious hire now.

Then Hinch should of been the hire even before Drinky woke up from his "its 5 oclock somewhere" nap.

They knew he was arrested. They chose 1.) Not to disclose this 2.) To hire him anyway Zero fucks are given by JR to anyones feelings. This is a business and his personal playground.

He doesnt care about that. He is going to stick to a budget.

He lost his job. This due process crap is great. This is TLR's second time. There is enough smoke to see that there is fire.

JR doesnt care. This is a billionaire and his personal playground. This proves once and for all he doesnt care about winning. He just cares about what makes Jerry happy.

My guess its either Dotson or Hassler if they keep in-house. Otherwise look for a TLR former player or former A's/Cards minor league coach. Its not going to be Katz or Zaleski. The pitching coach for the Tigers was probably Hahn's #1 target. He was allowed to go to a division competitor without us even interviewing him. That should tell you enough about this process. An Old Duffer will be the guy.

He wanted Dave Duncan until Dave told him he was still staying retired. My guess is get ready to be disappointed.
