Maybe Coop retires, that's it, and why retire when things are just about to go really well. I think RR has better job security than anyone posting on this board who isn't self employed. Besides, if it was a big change, chances are it would have leaked by now. I better start looking for jobs. Haha... I didn’t see him getting fired either.

October 12, 20205 yr I feel legit terrible for Ricky. I wanted him gone but imagine how devastated he must be that this happened again. Two weeks before the season ended, Hahn said Rick deserved to be here enjoying the success. Rick literally lost his job because of the last 13 games of this season. This being said, if you want to be a champion, you cannot have this kind of managing going on. We need to go get a real winner and not some wannabe.
October 12, 20205 yr Girardi has a job. Wonder if sandy takes over the Indians and Francona comes over in some buyout agreement.

October 12, 20205 yr As long as we get more assistant coaches to 'part ways' once the new manager seems them and says "No chance in hell" , we're good.

October 12, 20205 yr Wow. His managing down the stretch and in the Oakland series was so objectively head-scratchingly bad, it was like a death wish. Think back to when they clinched and Hahn said all that stuff about how the Cubs treated Rickey. 100% believe he lost his job in a 3 week stretch.
October 12, 20205 yr This is the strongest signal yet that "business as usual" is over in the JR orgs. The bulls moves were another strong signal but this is the strongest yet as there are a lot of reasons "on paper" you could keep Rick. But this is 100% the right move Rick was holding this club back from its WS title hopes.

October 12, 20205 yr Just now, Tony said: Sandy makes a TON of sense, that's a great call If Francona retired because of health problems, then I’d think Alomar would stay in Cleveland. Otherwise, yeah, it would be an obvious move if Alomar wanted it.
October 12, 20205 yr Just now, Tony said: Sandy makes a TON of sense, that's a great call I’ve heard the critics against an Alomar move, albeit in a smaller role he made some questionable decisions in filling in for Francona. I don’t know if he’s the answer, plus the Sox interviewed him once already
