The on field results beg to differ.

He's still averaging almost 3 HR/9 and also has a much worse FIP in his 13 LA innings. He had a few nice outings for the Sox after mixing up his pitch arsenal too. We saw how long that lasted.

The Dodgets. Yes, the Dodgets.

2008 was how long ago? What relevance does that have now? Tony La Russa won a World Series more recently than Ozzie, and look at the catastrophe he was. Ozzie is just as out of touch with modern baseball as TLR is. What in the hell has Ozzie done in the past 15 years that makes him qualified to manage in Major League Baseball today? What has Ozzie even done to be even remotely relevant to modern baseball? I'll hang up and listen...

Lest we all forget about Nick Swisher, or intentionally playing an Adam Dunn hitting under .150 cleanup just to stick it to KW. Or the rotating Mark Kotsay DH disaster. I'm sure I could think of a few more if I wanted to kill a few more brain cells. Ozzie was a train wreck at the end, negotiated a deal with under team while still under contract here, and didn't even last more than a single year with said team because he couldn't stop running his mouth. He hasn't managed a big league game in longer than a decade, nor has he been willing to coach anywhere in MLB to rehab his rep. The notion that the short of s%*# we are seeing now wouldn't or didn't happen under Ozzie is complete fiction. The Ozzie revisionist history is beyond nonsensical and needs to stop.

We all know how much Rick Hahn loves burning money on the fringes.

His only real value in trade is his cheap team control. And why trade for that when you can find subpar 1B defense with better power numbers in FA?

He was what, 2 homers in August? Leadership baby!

If marketing can convince enough people that he all of these great intangibles, maybe they will look past his paltry numbers or how they wasted a top pick on a maxed out below average 1B?

Ozzie himself was embroiled in all sorts of controversy on his way out. It's laughable to suggest this sort of s%*# wouldn't or didn't happen under his watch. He was the ringleader of his own damn circus at the end.

I just want to know if Rick Hahn still thinks he’s the best person for this job. Cuz it seems pretty obvious to everyone watching that he’s not. Also, when is the parade? We were promised a parade and I still want to talk to him after it… What a silver-tongued bullshit artist…

Who ever is leaking this stuff likely has their own agenda. But I’m only guessing.

It’s pretty damning…

Gotta love Ozzie revisionist history in a pathetic attempt to troll.

Total non-story. But people just want to pile on TA.

This isn't cubs talk.

This coming from Shane Riordan makes it suspect and I’m skeptical that this happened or happened as described. It is totally believable though and that fact doesn’t make them look any better. I do hope the leaks keep trickling out until the dam busts. The whole org needs a cleansing fire.

This take is utter trash. Ramirez started it and landed a punch. That alone is worthy of a larger punishment.

His swollen steroid face rocking boxing gloves in a photo taken while the org went by a racist nickname that should have never been used but should have also been eradicated a century ago… Yeah, f*** Ramirez, Naylor, Tito, and the whole lot. Cleveland has zero room to speak on disrespect.

No earth can be scorched enough while JR still runs things.

All things that go back to the Renteria days, but seemed to multiply exponentially after he was fired.

This team being a dumpster fire behind the scenes should come as no surprise. The rot runs deep and starts at the top.

Someone needed to say it. Bravo Keynan!

It is revealing watching fans respond negatively as a player falls from the pedestal they themselves put him on. Your biases and your projections are really showing in these posts.
