Nothing he could do as a manager would hurt me more than this.

He's known he was getting hired for a while now. Hell, Lance Briggs has known he was getting hired for a while now. The he just got hired stuff isn't a valid excuse.

And obviously this can change but the players and others in the organization aren't happy about this either at the moment, this isn't just a fans thing. From Fegan's article: "But Sox players who spoke to The Athletic ranged from cautiously open-minded, to dismissive and derisive in their reaction to the hiring." Nobody is happy about this.

Offseason Targets
Ya, I'm fine with Morton but not as our number 3 starter.

This means sox will be active in free agency
The last time Tony was in baseball our current payroll would be like top 6th in the league so he's probably already thrilled. No need to spend.

No idea but it doesn't really matter. Tony is literally on record as of this year saying he doesn't support it. He's going to have people that defend him which is fine and dandy but his own words suggest otherwise.

Lot better choice. I swear every time something crappy happens within the organization(Machado situation) it somehow keeps getting worse days later with new info that comes out.

It's so bizarre that still not a single peep from the players.

It doesn't but hopefully it does. That's my in depth analysis of the situation.

Don't even fuckin get my started on that. I turned on sports radio down here after work yesterday(I like Rongey's show) and legit the first thing I heard them talk about is if Yadi and Waino would be a good fit for the Sox.

Dontrelle Willis for 3rd starter next season?!?!?

Yup.

That's a big 1, ya know, 3 hours into Tony being our manager. But yes, a lot of baseball players do share Tony's view points so it's not like we're going to lose out on everyone because of this. Money for the most part will always win anyways but when your owner is JR that's obviously not great either.

Tony La Russa named Manager
Easily imo.

Tony La Russa named Manager
Ya, it's just those 2. Not saying, he can't go anywhere else, just saying it'd be a little tougher to just walk away if he at least doesn't have an interview lined up.
-
Tony La Russa named Manager
I guess man but unless he has another job lined up it's pretty hard to just walk away from a 7 figure position even if you did just get your balls chopped off.
