I don't understand how there isn't any smoke to Robin being fired. There was some rumors a month ago when the Sox were possibly still in it, now they are sellers and nothing?
I honestly think that he will resign at some point. Fits his narrative of being lukewarm about the job in the first place and the Sox being too loyal to can someone.
It would nice if they fired Robin now and let Renteria be the interim. But now we're on the verge of the Cubs series week and the trade deadline. There's a lot going on, and it would add to the distractions. Maybe in a couple weeks, they just let Robin know he won't be renewed and he chooses to resign...but probably not.
The bigger issue with the coaching staff is that it has to be a full gutting after this season, and that means Don Cooper has to leave the organization no matter what. No half measures.
