Don’t confuse a case report with anything substantive. You could walk into a station and make a report on anything or anyone. It does not mean it’s legitimate.
Seems pretty simple to me. They’re replacing members of the coaching staff to sell fans that they’re making moves to improve the team (they know the team won’t improve). And when the team sucks next year, Grifol becomes the fall guy so they can further sell fans that they’re making moves to improve the team.
Most teams would get rid of the entire coaching staff in one fell swoop. The Sox are stretching it over two seasons to stay in that JR “almost” contending area to bleed the fans for longer without spending money.
It’s insulting being a fan of this team.
I’ll be rooting for the Rangers, Brewers, or Rays to win it. They’ve never won it.
I won’t be upset if the Blue Jays, Twins, Diamondbacks, Marlins, Phillies, Braves, or Orioles take it.
I just don’t want the Astros or Dodgers.
I understand where you’re coming from, but no. Arizona earned their spot already. They decide what’s best for them, and they decided it’s to rest their players before the postseason. The Rangers (or whoever) shouldn’t expect a favor to the detriment of another team. They could’ve and should’ve won one more game if they were so concerned.
