Not offered a move upstairs, offered a chance to be a part of the interviews. They weren't going to just hand him a role. If they said "hey, want the fake executive VP of baseball operations we gave to Brian?" He would have taken it. They wanted to know if he wanted a shot at the GM/CBO role, just a chance to interview for the position. To his credit, he said he wasn't ready. I think they like his communication skills and he could be good at the position at some point, but I have no idea what he is or is not ready for. He's FINE as a manager. He could be better as a CBO (at some point) or he could be much worse. We just don't know. He just doesn't know!
