It would be silly to change the GM AFTER the season. If they are going to make a switch, they need to do it now and not let it impact what they have to get done this offseason unless they are just going to hand the reigns to BOH.

Dalbec had two great months and only 3 months above 750 OPS. Casas has been great since 7/1 and five straight months above 750 OPS. Hard to compare the two seasons except that they both had bad Aprils.
Why wasn't Littell good with MIN? Why wasn't Littell good with SF?
Maybe it's just that TB is better at developing pitching and then burning out a pitcher's arm than other orgs?
He's been a top 10 offensive talent since May 1, 9th in SLG, 8th in OBP. It was really one bad month. If he can fix his defensive shortcomings, he'll be a monster.
I don't think they stashed Hamilton because they believed he could play SS. They stashed him because they weren't sure how the 2023 changes would impact the game and didn't want to give up on the only true base stealer in the org.
Which ones? When I looked at the trade deadline, it didn't look like the pitchers that would have helped us would have been traded for the SS prospects that we had.
Lawler was the Sox initial target, but Mayer was perceived to be the number 1 pick. Either way, it's a crapshoot. Not sure why Lawlar had to be brought up.
