All kidding aside, thought has crossed my mind the Sox could trade Madrigal to get a stud pitcher and go after Wong.

You know I'm down for that and have been for a while. Look at what is available at 2b each year...it's a no-brainer. I'm not that big on how Wong would age though, he seems like a pretty worn down 30.

Yep just look at the production Indians got from Hernandez last season.

Seems pretty fair as you cheer for a situation where the manager is dictating personnel moves to the owner and bypassing the scouting department to look at what happened when he was recently making personnel moves.

So if I'm not whining about it I'm cheering for it?  Come on man.

I have no idea who they would target if (yes it's still an if) LaRussa accepts the job but I would be much more optimistic that they will spend money.

Has TLR been offered the job and it's up to him to make a decision now?

I would like this but I feel like Madrigal is the exact player TLR would love, bat leadoff, play all 162, etc.

I remember that. Yeah, he did. That was really funny.

Ugh great point 

Washington declined Eaton's option. 

Would you guys bring him back as a LHH RF? (yes I know he's a shithead)

No way

Nope. I'd prefer my shitheads to be good baseball players:)

He'd be plan Z in a platoon with Engel (the AE platoon).

Of the shit head triumvirate of Laroche, Sale, and Eaton, he was the lesser shithead IMO. Six straight seasons of .362-.394 OBP but he stunk it up in 2020. Any evidence that was an aberration? The .360+ obp version would look pretty good balancing out the lineup, no doubt

My RF list in terms of likeliness is:

1) Calhoun  2) Bradley  3) Joc  4) Springer

My SP list in terms of likeliness is:

1) Quintana  2) Stroman  3) Richards

Because he’s a clubhouse cancer

Pass.  Or just drop the P from Pass.

I know you'd say similar for STroman, but I think sox will put a premium on availability and I just don't know how sox could rely on Richards.

He's a great fit, honestly.  But I think the bridge is burned, charred, and still smoldering.

Realizing I shouldn't say this because I will absolutely be psyched if we roll the dice with Kluber

He really is. Platoon him, hit him 8th. But agreed. There's no way he's coming back.

If Hahn was not allowed to hire his own manager he would probably quit.  This Jerry is going to override the front office and force them hire La Russa is total bullshit.  That is not how the dude operates.  I’d wager large sums of money that Hinch will be the manger within 10 days after the World Series.

I too believe this decision will ultimately be left to Hahn.  JR will be in the discussion along with KW but ultimately RH is the GM.
