January 9, 20242 yr So, how many of you are heading East to meet Jeremy Huber and Rick Hahn in Ann Arbor at the parade?

Doubt they would attend together, but who knows...wouldn't be a total shocker, but it would be a bit awkward if they were photographed together in any type of official way.
February 2, 20242 yr Didn't really feel worth of a new thread but Marlins hired away Sam Mondry-Cohen to be their VP of Player Personnel . Was Sox MLB analytics coordinator for just one year after being an assistant GM with the Nats. Getz noted Mondry-Cohen as recently as last week as one of the guys they hired from outside the org, or without Royals ties. Edited February 2, 20242 yr by ChiSox59

Or just the title/promotion/city? Wonder if he was involved with the Burger trade lol?
February 2, 20242 yr Sam was a former assistant GM with the Nationals. Sam was responsible for analytics and mechanics for hitters, with Rod Larson doing the same with pitchers. Miami offered a permanent officer / VP level promotion. I wouldn’t read too much into this, but do hope they find a quality replacement. Edited February 2, 20242 yr by South Side Hit Men

February 2, 20242 yr https://www.soxon35th.com/15-interesting-candidates-to-be-head-of-white-sox-baseball-operations/ Has extensive bio here. No Royals’ ties, he gone. You can see why he would end up with another NL East team though.
February 3, 20242 yr They should have spent August and September promoting this guy on radio and tv broadcasts...how many except deep deep insiders/selected media even knew of his existence.

Obviously Harold is glad he's gone but doesn't usually share his Intel but you do. I seem to recall your experiences with him or your sources experiences with him weren't good. Being Hahn's right hand man seems like it was only a matter of time before he'd be replaced by the new regime. I don't particular care that a paper pusher with a 24 year career with the Royals who Getz may admire for his hard work, dedication and skills was hired to continue doing that for the Sox. Some types you don't need an extensive search. If he was THAT good KC would have kept him around to negotiate Witt Jr. extension talks...

If only Sam watched games with Jerry in the owners box, and pined for the days of David Eckstein. Jerry would never go with an outsider again after the Larry Himes experience. Even one with far better baseball experience and knowledge. Competitively both teams are bad, but Sam is in a better position in Miami, as he can stay as long as he goes along with permanent tanking budgets. Everyone here may lose their job post transition period after Jerry passes. It’s the only way they’ll possibly shed Boyer.

Would be interesting to learn if Kim Ng made that staffing recommendation to ownership at some point... Edited February 3, 20242 yr by caulfield12
