Going to break this into a non-TLR thread

He's not going to publicly humiliate anyone on his way out.

He said he isn't taking a front office role.

Here is my big hope. That Rick Hahn and Kenny Williams, by publicly shutting their mouths during the TLR nightmare, have gained the trust of JR to say look we did it your way, now let us do it our way. I mean if they hadn't, there is a much higher reality of Tony just placing his handplaced successor in place now in Miguel Cairo, then the list of guys that Nigtengale is already leaking. I might be 100% wrong here, but I can hope.

Someone gets me.

That's when they always do these things when they are in town.

They would never allow Tony's day to be clouded with others.

70 isn't the problem. 70 and stuck in the 1970s is the problem.

This is from the Bob Nightengale thread announcing the TLR retirement speech coming Monday.

Hopefully he gets the Harold Baines treatment of showing up twice a year and signing some autographs, and this is just a way of sliding JR's buddy a few bucks versus him actually doing anything of substance.

These last two years will make a great book.

Santos is out today. Bears signed a kicked off of the street.

So far that makes this period Reyes, Uribe Jr, and Alvarez the 17 YO OF from Cuba.

Throw this in here too.

Slightly different spin.

And thank god it is Jerry's preferred source, so it is safe to believe.

It's so tired. We have been saying this for six month, and it is great that the dogwalked Chicago media finally caught up and all, but it's trite at this point.
