October 29, 20205 yr 4 minutes ago, SouthWallace said: I looked up the tweets yesterday. Immediately after the Sox announced that RR was gone, Nightengale tweeted that Hinch was a strong candidate. Later that afternoon Nightengale tweeted the LaRussa interest. After things had gone quiet durning the World Series, the day after the series ends Bruce LeVine tweets about LaRussa gauging interest in staff hires. Bruce doesn't exactly break Sox news that he isn't fed directly. I'm looking at who is putting out the info and wondering why. Dan Roan and a former Bear is some odd sourcing confirmation too. The Lance Briggs thing makes zero sense. Which means, with the White Sox, it probably makes all the sense in the world.

October 29, 20205 yr 3 minutes ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said: Yeah, this is certainly how Bochy feels. Based on?
October 29, 20205 yr Just now, Chicago White Sox said: Bruce & Nightengale are KW’s go-to plants. Exactly.

October 29, 20205 yr Lance Briggs works the for The Score, no? He probably heard it from someone who works there. His source is probably Bruce lol
October 29, 20205 yr Hmmm...does he like the "buzz" or the "still under consideration" part? I'm guessing the latter. Edited October 29, 20205 yr by RudyLawRules
October 29, 20205 yr 9 minutes ago, Chicago White Sox said: Bruce & Nightengale are KW’s go-to plants. Good post. There is a connection between Brian Bilek’s tweet about Hahn and KW not being on the same page and with KW feeding organization info to Bruce and Nightengale. Sounds like Hahn was overruled.

His source is probably Bruce lol You have Frank Thomas and Ozzie Guillen at the same place, without even getting into people like Our Chuck and others who have feelers into the business. it isn't hard to see how Lance could have heard something.
October 29, 20205 yr 1 hour ago, Chicago White Sox said: A) Guillen = quitter B) Hinch = cheater C) La Russer = old douche Give me option B of those three options D) None of the above

October 29, 20205 yr 1/as @ZackMeisel 1st reported the #Indians placed Brad Hand on outright waivers to see if a team claims him and they do not have to pay even his $1M buyout on his $10M 2021 option. I think this illustrates the offseason ahead. This morning an agent (not Hand's) predicted Hand There's such a huge opportunity this off-season to take advantage of the times. Please please White Sox... don't cry poor.
October 29, 20205 yr That cotillo tweet is meh. Just repeating what other people are whispering about

October 29, 20205 yr 39 minutes ago, maloney.adam said: If the AL manager of the year can lose the world series by taking Snell out too early. And the Astros go deep into the Playoffs with a last minute Baker at the helm instead of everybodys favorite candidate, Hinch. There's not much a manager can do to make your team win. They mostly there to just take the blame for your losses. So I believe the only way La Russa can hurt this team is by being old. Not because he will fall asleep, but because he may scare off free agents who are ageists. Because players win games and we need more players.
October 29, 20205 yr 17 minutes ago, Orlando said: This guy is A Mass. writer so I doubt he is connected to White Sox. But this earlier tweet I find interesting La Russa was an active advisor with the Red Sox under Dombrowski. Was shocked at how many games he attended (like 150+, including almost every road trip).
