Maybe he's referring to a certain 3 time free agent signee...

Yeah, the Sox are already taken for fluffing!

Uh huh.

Then why did you challenge me on the same point between a prime Tito and over the hill TLR?

The comparison wouldn't be same because of their history's. That's literally the point

One guy was out for a year and still on top. The other was out for over a decade and was not. It's fully about now, now the 1980s.

I mean you are the one saying "problem". I'd call it unprofessional, personally.

Yes, they both won World Series and are in the HOF!

One was at the top of his game in the 2020's. The other was at the bottom of his bottle. Totally the same. Let's bring back Connie Mack!

It is, but in a national game, Bears fans had to listen to it, so it became their problem.

He doesn't need to like him, but there was an audible difference in treatment betweenthe QBs. You can get away with that as a local guy, but not a national one.

Are we really comparing Tony to Tito?

Ironic how close these two posts were to each other.

Yeah, guys really don't just quit.

Hopefully we stop trading really young players for older players really damned soon. There is plenty of trash floating in the ocean to fill the roster with, we don't need to trade our youngest players to do it.

Now compare him to the rest of the managers Jerry has hired.

I don't remember it's name anymore but the Astros stadium is just wild.

The Popemobile needs the L flag.

The story was TLR got paid something like $3 mil to be here. No word on what he is doing now. The rest? Yeah, no.

Lazy huh? Venable got a what? Promotion. Bannister? Promotion. McKiven? Promotion. The last dude you listed somehow took a demotion, which is probably telling, but sure. That's one out of four for your listicle.

Why would I say the Sox are cheap? Are you serious? And then you listed a literal promotion who had never been a MLB manager as dude number 1 on your listicle.

The Sox aren't going to outbid someone so as to hire away a top candidate so that probably limits them to promotions (internal or external) or already jobless candidates.

Meanwhile, in 1955...

I mean it's a time filler on another quiet off season day. Who cares?

Now this is a valid takeaway, and it's why the end of the Jerry Reinsdorf era can't come soon enough.
