Scioscia is signed through 2018, but Jon Morosi of FOXSPORTS is reporting that either Scioscia or Dipoto & possibly even BOTH may be out after this season.

 

According to Morosi “philosophical differences exist between the men and it has become increasingly apparent to organization that status quo is not tenable.”

 

Scioscia is only 54 & we all know he is one heck of a manager.

 

Now whether or not we can be contenders next season all determines on how/what we spend on in this off season.

 

If RV doesn't want to continue should Scioscia be #1 on the Sox list or would you like to go a different route?

Never gonna happen. Don't even waste the keystrokes.

He is a good manager, but there are things about him that would drive a lot of us crazy too. Still, he is one of the few guys I'd be ok with. I don't see Ventura leaving though under any circumstance.

He sure loves good defense catchers who can't hit .200.

JEFF MATHIS, COME ON DOWN

We have a manager under contract for 2014 and I would say the odds of him losing his job are slim to none.

Soscia got a lot of mileage out of that '02 WS and the fact that he routinely beat the Yankees. I think he's great at handling a pitching staff, don't know how he and Coop would jibe.

Right now, I don't know if he is that great of a mgr. I used to love him but the Angels are fundementally awful and have been the past couple of years. Now it could just be that Mike needs a change of scenery but it could also be that part of his success was a result of some of the top notch assistants he had (who have since left).

 

People lose jobs when owners spend that kind of money and aren't competing, it's just the way it is.

Like how the White Sox bumped up their opening day payroll this year over last?

To be honest...I wouldn't be surprised if the Dodgers dumped Mattingly and hired Scoscia. But I've been surprised his name hasn't been on the block already...

Do you really think the Dodgers would dump Mattingly after a playoff season and historic 50-game run? No way.

2018?? Is that a typo? That's crazy to sign any manger for that long, proving once again that GM's continue redefining the word stupid.

If Robin wasn't coming back, yes.

 

Part of me still wishes that we would have went after Francona.

 

I'll go with the guy that's here, though.

Danks contract....that's the main reason.

 

 

 

Adding Keppinger/Flowers and subtracting AJ...whatever Balta.

Right, that's the same as adding Pujols and Hamilton

They signed him to a 10 year deal in 2008.

Mattingly has done a heckuva of a job and I would be shocked if the Dodgers dumped him Maybe when Robin is tired of managing or gets the boot we see LaRusaa back with the Sox.

if they fold in the NLDS....yes.

I want LaRussa if Robin decides to retire. Can't the Sox talk LaRussa into coming back? He should be refreshed by now. Just think if he signs for five-years with the plan winning a WS in years three, four and five. He'd be an all-time Chicago icon if he can turn us into the Cardinals.

Amen.

Or even if he doesn't decide to retire.

 

And no Scoisia. he should take a year off and reflect, observe, work for ESPN anyway.

The Cardinals aren't where they are because of Tony LaRussa. They are always good because their front office finds talent out of nowhere low in the draft and develops those guys, while making smart free agent decisions. And when LaRussa was around, his pitching coach was even better than Cooper at turning garbage arms into good pitchers.

So I take it you aren't a LaRussa fan for some reason? His resume screams "winner" to me. I say if Robin wants out, beg him to return to the South Side.

Those of you talking about LaRussa do realize that he turns 69 years old on October 4th of this year, right?

 

He's not going to manage a team again. I can see him joining an organization in a counseling or ambassador role, but never as a full time manager again.

He sure didn't have tons of success here. '83 was it, and that team lost in the first round. The team in '84 that was supposed to be ever better, just cratered.
