Serious question now: anyone here who would not take Renteria back right now, if those were the only 2 options?

In a heartbeat.

Without question. 

I wonder if Stoney knew?

We need a miracle of a "agreed to part ways".

Anyone want to bet what comes next? 

Jerry is gonna hold a press conference and say that Tony shouldn't be "cancelled" for "having human problems" and it will all be very cynical and gross and expected.

I’m beginning to believe (hope) he’ll resign/be fired.

No word on coaches, hasn’t spoken to players.  It’s been crickets since the day he was hired.

The Sox either did not know and Jerry is not letting his guy go down like this or they did know and thought it would not leak or blow up. Even if Jerry doesn’t care, if people make enough noise they will have no choice but to fire him. 

I think Jerry doesn’t care, this is his ride off into the sunset moment and he’s going to ride or die with Tony.  This won’t change anything IMO.

I was just thinking that maybe Tony will resign and say he needs to focus on his problem with the help of family and friends

Oh I will bet you that there is somehow worse coming. 

You seem to be hinting at something here

How the F*** have Hahn and Williams not resigned? 

Staying on and being ok with this, because the money is more important to you? Is that all you care about? Does he need to kill someone in the season?

But not his daughters.

Nope. Just playing the odds at this point. 

Just wonderful.

At least we know his statement was sincere.

Well we know why he hasn’t called players yet. He actually is really good about not drinking and dialing. 

lolololol

Beyond ridiculous.  I need a break from following this shitty org.

Second story on WGN News, and holy cow does it make them look bad. Dan Roan seems pissed.

It’s a helpless feeling 

But was he drinking sincerely?

Fuck Tony LaRussa. 

Any normal company, even small ones, regularly perform background checks.

either the Sox didnt, or they did and are still ok with it. Not sure which is worse tbh.

They knew. The article states as much.

 

Is there a chance this can create a national buzz to the point he will just go away?
