Probably waiting for the Cubs job to open up so he doesn't have to uproot his whole family. I don't think he is long for the org after this.

Anyone who works for someone else isn't fully in charge. Wherever RH would go... he still has a boss. JR gives as much space as anyone but he does own the team and still, he reports to a board. Life is full of those little irritations.

October 29, 20205 yr This young team is good and will hopefully get better. If they win it will be in spite of JR and Kenny. Hopefully this move will not divide and destroy the team. Hoping for a big 2021! But, I just can't watch this news conference anymore. Edited October 29, 20205 yr by Saufley
October 29, 20205 yr This is a reminder that we also have a pitching coach vacancy, everyone please welcome 75 year old Dave Duncan to the mix!!!!!

October 29, 20205 yr Tony really had to name all the black players he's managed to prove he's not racist...he went there.

October 29, 20205 yr can someone write down what his response was to Fegans question? Some of us cant watch here

He basically said the events of 2020 have changed his views on kneeling during the anthem and that he'd be okay with it. Then he went even farther and said he's not racist cause he's managed black players in the past.

October 29, 20205 yr He basically said he's changed his stance on kneeling for the anthem. If players are sincerely protesting peacefully, he has no problem with it. He also listed a number of black players he's managed that can vouch for him not being a racist. Which apparently, according to people on this board, is bad to say. LOL
