Not another KC hire win/win

Good resume coming from good organization. Can’t complain.

Yea cautious optimism. Hopefully it means we are expanding our overall scouting resources. IMO the draft was never really our problem, maybe it was for a period, but we've had other issues and in general our drafts are fine and certainly played a role in the positive 2026 season.

Shirley had to go, but he seemed better than most at his job himself.

The draft hasn’t been their problem, I agree. The biggest problem holding the Sox back from being the Brewers is their international operation and rudderless it is. Once they get that off the ground and get their pitching development back on track, they could be on track to be like the brewers

Yep. Great hire

I don't even recognize my team anymore.

Shirley had been here a long time and it was time for a change anyway (aside from his nonsense).

Excited to see how this guy approaches the draft and scouting.

First time that has been said in a positive context 😂

Definitely gives this guy a pay bump. But also likely has shinier tools at his disposal as well as more resources. Also sets him up down the line for a GM job with either the Sox or a rebuilding.
