Feel like that's the usual outcome to most of these moves by the Sox but he's so bad I can't help but think he ends up in Miami on a minor league deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn12 Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Those crazy sons of bitches really did it, which makes signing him to that contract before last year, even more boggling. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guarantee you the Sox would owe Leury Garcia $11 million less today than they do if Tony LaRussa was never hired. His return screwed this team up in so many ways. One of the worst hires of all time IMO. Edited March 30, 2023 by Dick Allen 2 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted March 30, 2023 Author Share Posted March 30, 2023 The official transaction says Sox select contract of TWP Oscar Colas. I have never seen that before, and hope he will not pitch this year. 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they fired LaRussa, they were about to go into a rebuild and he would have been canned eventually anyway. After he got fired in 1986, the team played better for Fregosi. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't experience the original, so I only have the return to go on. How many fateful events in the mid 80s still have lasting repercussions for this org?

If Hawk didn't fire Tony, he doesnt get the A's job, which means he doesn't get the Cardinals job, and doesn't ever get to say he is a HOF baseball person, brother. He's just another Ricky Renteria or Tom Trebblehorn. If you think about it, Tony owes a hell of a lot to Hawk for firing him.

Personal but if Ozzie doesn't win ROY then my brother probably has a different childhood idol and isn't such an asshole. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my interview with TLR: ML: You’ll go into the Hall of Fame this August as one of the all-time winningest managers. Have you ever wondered what may have happened if you stayed with the Sox? I know Sox fans wonder how many championships you might have won had you stayed for 20 years or so. TLR: “Yes, I do, but more for entertainment, I don’t take a lot of time to look back in a serious manner. I just think you have to move on from the past, learn from it and go forward. I will occasionally tease Jerry (Reinsdorf) about it, though. I honestly think had I stayed with the White Sox for 30 years that the team would have won multiple world championships. I think that because we were so united. Everyone from the owners to the front office to the coaching staff was on the same page. Our minor league system was developing and we had good people in all areas.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason Hawk got the GM job was the crap they had to call up from the minor leagues when someone got hurt. Himes fixed that, but there is no way he would have stuck with LaRussa.

JoshPR Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 I really think Grifol did not like Leury or that he was a dumb player. On the human side wish leury the best, but I was tired of seeing the crazy swings and dumb situational baseball from him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
