If only I could figure out a difference between TA and the others...

Yep. Rather have either vs TLR.

Hell, I would rehire literally any Sox manager back to Terry Bevington, and I might think about him.

Wait. Are you trying to make the argument that it isn't the responsibility of the team manager to notice that his pitcher is acting like he is hurt with every pitch and actually go out and do something because of it? Even if it is just to go out and talk to him, testing him, make him throw a few warm ups etc., just to check on him? WHO comes in after that is secondary to the health of the guy on the mound. If by subsequent investigation, you find your guy is hurting, then you go to whoever your next best guys is in that situation.

Bryon Buxton just hit the longest walkoff homer in the modern era. Bat flip away bro. You earned it.

I think if anything teams will wait for the draft to pass, and then engage his camp on something long term, with a bit of cash this year as an enticement.

It isn't out of the range of possibility that TLR let's him go that long. Again.

His ERA is currently 15. He would need to give up 10 runs without getting an out for that to happen.

I am not convinced that Tony leaving wouldn't trigger a bigger sell off if we failed to make the playoffs. It would be easy cover.

I am waiting for TLR flask day.

Also worth stating, Tony isn't leaving until he quits or dies. If the team that falls short, that doesn't mean anything.

I am always going to take a playoff appearance. Always.

This franchise got universal attention around baseball for the 6 error game and the literal worst ever hitting of Leury Garcia in the 3rd slot. They have also gotten a ton of attention for pitching to Buxton with a base open.
