The end of 2011 broke Henry's brain. That collapse made him push a big red button that he should have waited on. They had no pitching that September. If they ran that team back in 2012 with Theo and Tito, they would have been much much better and may have not had to do the Dodgers trade.

He got fired for feuding with ownership and the manager. He wanted Vaz to get more playing time down the stretch (the guy who caught a no hitter and who was just traded for) but the manager didn't feel like it. He got to the league wide GM meetings and vented his grievances publicly over winning a WS, but only being offered a one year extension and being massively underpaid. Crane then fired him.
-
Is he as ineffective and indecisive at trades and FA as Bloom? If so, then that's a hard pass. Click did trade for Vaz in HOU at the deadline, right?

Within two weeks of assuming the Pirates GM position, Huntington made several decisive moves on October 5, 2007: field manager Jim Tracy was fired; the remaining coaching staff was given notice that their contracts would likely not be renewed; and the senior director of player development, the scouting director, and the director of baseball operations were also let go.
-
Massive budget cuts are a myth. He was just asked to get under the CBT like most other GM's have to do. It shouldn't have been that tall of a task.
-
Bell would knock you out like Tyson did to Spinks.
-
Per Speier, Craig Breslow, Thad Levine, and Neal Huntington have all interviewed with the Red Sox for their FO openings. Raquel Ferreira withdrew her name due to family concerns.
-
What boos? He rarely interacts with fans anymore.
-
Hmm, sounds familiar... Can anyone else confirm?
-
She's deserving of a job. I hope she gets one.
-
The only problem is that they keep JH insulated enough that he won't hear or see anything. That's the sole reason that Grimma Wormtongue (aka Sam ********) works there.
-
I vaguely remember this happening. Like distant echoes....
-
Yes, that is another option, but comparing the Sox and the Marlins has nothing to do with the Mets.
-
Of all the arguments in the world, this is certainly one of them.

The abrupt departure of Marlins general manager Kim Ng on Monday morning came as a result of numerous instances in which Ng — who led the Marlins to the playoffs this season for the first time in a full-season year since 2003 — felt like she was being stripped of her power and underappreciated, multiple sources briefed on the matter told The Athletic . . . . . . Ng, who people within the Marlins organization lauded for helping change the culture, was also having trouble getting rid of some of Miami’s holdovers from previous regimes. While the club did part ways with polarizing vice president of scouting and player development Gary Denbo midway through 2022, and senior director of international operations Adrian Lorenzo did not return when his contract was up last year, sources say Ng wanted to make changes in some other high-ranking leadership roles in scouting and player development, which ownership seemingly was not receptive to.

2.47 ERA, 3.61 xFIP Stories were out there that he had revitalized his career with the cutter, but a lot of us saw that regression coming a mile away.
-
The Espinoza trade is still bad in hindsight because they used a top 20 prospect for a pitcher that was on an unsustainable hot streak rather than a pitcher that could have actually been useful. Espinoza had much higher trade value at the time than Drew Pomeranz. Why did they jump at Pomeranz instead of reaching for a better pitcher? That was DD's MO.
-
I think we just didn't hear about the declines previously.
-
Even his son isn't surprised when he's fired. Pass.
-
This says nothing as to why Miami would be a better job than Boston, as usual.
-
There have been no rumors about RF, just Eddie. How does RF feel about that? Kind of interesting IMO.
-
Ask this question to JH, not me. I'm not the one doing the hiring.
-
Do the Sox want her? She's allegedly not analytical, more in the DD realm.
-
No, highlights.
-
Romero becomes GM. Cora becomes CBO in a few years to oversee the whole operation.
