    If this was the case, they would have rejected the interview outright like Gomes and others. The after the fact rejections leads to a different conclusion IMO.

    No, it's not having the autonomy to being able to pick out the FO guys that they will work with on a day to day basis. The operation is already there. JH is already determined to keep everyone. I think any GM would be fine with having Cora for manager in 2024, it's the BOH/Grimma Wormtongue/Eddie/Raquel crew that has no movement and potentially is untouchable (with emphasis on the first two).

    I'm throwing the 2023 baby out with the bathwater. I think the 2024 baby should be better.

    The CBT increased by 2M in 2020. To get under the CBT would be 5-6% from the previous budget.

    I think these candidates are turning down the job because they won't be given the space to make organizational changes to make the job their own. More and more, it just feels like this will come down to an internal candidate like Eddie Romero Jr. I'd rather him than some of the names thrown around anyway.

    We got a doubting Thomas over here!

    Kim Ng has a family. She ain't coming here.

    Within the past two hours. Is that JUST enough for you?

    "Oh hey, you can't be #1 in payroll going forward, but you can spend up to the CBT so work with 5% less." "Guess we'll have to be a 78 win team now... "

    Red Sox are going to lose out due to family considerations.

    UPDATE: @tylermilliken_ According to @alexspeier, James Click talked with the Red Sox but decided to withdraw his name from the search due to family considerations.

    How about a Greinke, Longoria, Ryu, Brantley and Carrasco offseason to scratch the Antiques Roadshow itch?
  15. mvp 78
    They must have done it because of a mandate from ownership not to spend!!!

    He was rubbing the blood off his hands!

    They were 10M under on Opening Day per Cots. It gave them enough room for a few deadline deals.

    He basically sat in his car in the garage the whole day listening to podcasts wondering if he should walk into work or not.

    Don't sign guys with pre-existing injuries!

    $12 over. He needed to reduce the budget by 6% from 2019 to 2020. If he could have traded Price and paid 50% of his contract for a nothing prospect, he could have been under in 2020.

    Would the Bloom Brigade please stand up and protect your boy?!?!? No takers?
  22. mvp 78
    But if Cora complains about it then he's a backstabber? Is that the story?
  23. mvp 78
    Yeah, I'm going to disagree with this bolded part...
  24. mvp 78
    At this point, Cora has managed through 3 seasons AFTER his suspension. Houston faced barely any consequences. MLB tried its darndest to make it a nothing burger. I think a reunion with Lunlow would be a story, but not so much with Click.
  25. mvp 78
    There's no way Huntington would be able to do that kind of turnover in Boston. Maybe it was requested? Maybe he feels it wouldn't be needed? The Pirates are an awfully different franchise than the Red Sox. His GM experience would be substantially different here. He was fleeced in a few trades, but did turn the Bucs into a winner for a brief moment. I don't think Henry would cheapen out on his staff the way HOU does. I think Bloom was given a lot of leeway in a way that any HOU GM would never be given. Click should have been more professional and kept his mouth shut, but I believe he was severely chafed at where he was professionally at the time. Both candidates are flawed for sure. Click may be a more exciting choice, but I don't know if either does it for me. The Sox really needed a guy like Gomes. Of all the non-internal candidates interviewed so far, the only really interesting one is Breslow IMO. He's a big unknown though.
