I’m sure they do. He is under contract through next season.

JR is probably not  happy he can't pay him minimum wage.

Because he does not believe in analytics and is a meathead that is being pushed by TLR.  There is no rationale reason for him to be considered and shows how obtuse the organization is.

The real problem.  Isn't there another organization that wants to lose 100 games that he can be part of?

If Grady is indeed out, I wonder if the Sox would want to keep him on the staff in some capacity.

It’s a ruse to keep Grady’s price tag down.  They want to offer him no more than $2/hour more than the $15 he was making last year.

Has he gone on record at length about an analytics stance? Because he worked in LAA and has to know the deal-- saber decision comes up from FO and you are using it in the game. You have no choice. And especially him, he has no other jobs to interview for right now, and has already managed before.

The saber thing should implemented and pushed by the FO; i dont need the manager to be an ivy leaguer. his biggest role (in 2024) is keeping players loose and motivated

There are 28 baseball franchises who would trade spots with the Yankees.  I wish that were the Sox, even if we got swept by the Dodgers. 

It was obviously a generalization of a game that was not meant to be taken as fact.

It is going to be Nevin

 

What the f*** have the halos won? 😆 This organization is SUCH a joke.

Grady out of the running per Bob

Edit: Albernaz is the third name if you don’t wanna click the link.

Funny that a franchise that is almost as bad as the Sox is considering 2 of the 3 same hires, but the one they’re not considering is the clear worst choice and the one we all know the Sox will pick.

s%*# might change in consistency and tone but s%*# is always still s%*#.

There’s an actual analogy in there somewhere relative to the Chicago White Flops.

So....Grady Sizemore is no longer under consideration?

The Chicago White Sox and Miami Marlins could find themselves in a battle over the same managerial candidates.
The White Sox's three finalists for their managerial vacancy are Texas Rangers associate manager Will Venable, former Los Angeles Angels manager Phil Nevin, and…

I don't think anyone knows anything. Just wait for them to announce Willie Harris.

Alright Markins. Take your pick between Albernaz and Venable. We'll take the other one and we'll call it a day.

I agree. Anyone but Nevins. Which means I think I know who they're hiring.

Nevin is for sure going to be hire. Probably the only candidate that I had a negative opinion on. Just doesn’t feel like a guy that is going to move this franchise forward out of the Stone Age.

Aren't there any Royals guys in the mix to continue the 100 loss Royals envy.

Is this the new Robert/s?

Venable the hire

 

 

I’m not mad at this. 

I was resigned to being okay with Sizemore. This seems like a positive development.
