In that case, better call him quickly!!

1. Overdramatizing the state of the roster doesn’t change that it’s not the worst in MLB. 2. It’s on field performace was with several players off to career-worst starts. (Admittedly some of these are shorter careers.) 3. Unlike Cora, Breslow likely had financial limitations.

Nothing posted. I’ll take a guess despite all I know about Tracy is he is a former Dbacks infielder who just saw his career evaporate by age 26, but hung on for several more years. Ok that saud Duran LF Anthony/Yoshida DH. (Is Roman back yet?) Contreras 1b Abreu RF Story 2b Mayer SS Durbin 3b Rafaela CF Wong C -
f*** him. Why would anyone hire that antiquated egomaniac? Is Joe Morgan still alive? The Sox could use a little Morgan Magic right about now…
-
Apparently there were some issues with young players not following the team’s development process, which may or may not have been very good anyway. But that’s not talent evaluation, and most of the young players the Sox extended were among the top young players/prospects in the game per neutral third-party publications like Baseball America and Baseball Prospectus. The roster wasn’t ideal but it wasn’t among the worst in MLB. The on-field performance, however, was…

If Breslow was guiding Cora, Story would have moved to 2b long ago. No reason to think it starts here…
-
No doubt it was a Breslow call. Kennedy is an invertebrate. Unlike Cora, Breslow has some leverage. They filled Cora’s job in 3 minutes. How long does it take to replace Breslow if he gets fired?
-
Obvious question, but what makes you think he has blatant weaknesses like not being able to hit lefties, but his stock was still high? I mean, if we know his weaknesses, safe bet every scout knows them and 10 more. Also, you phrased this like Mayer is a switch hitter. I assume you meant “against lefties and righties”…
-
Thats the issue. When does the Cohen Gravy Train leave the station for good? It will depart, but it’s not scheduled just yet…
-
Actually, the use of signs in baseball dates back to the 1880’s, where they were reportedly first used to communicate on field with a deaf player on the Washington Senators named Billy “Dummy” Hoy. Hoy was a talented base stealer, but once on base his manager had no other way to communicate with him. Signs were originally an accommodation, not a deception…

The Mets’ payroll situation is actually worse…
-
I think Story at 2b, Mayer at SS, and, for lack of any other option - Durbin at 3rd. But what I’d really like to shake this team up is Story at 3b, Mayer at SS, Rafaela at 2b, Braiden Ward in CF. But Thsts not going to happen for multiple reasons, the first one being that it shouldn’t…

While DD did hire him, I have no idea what their relationship is. But the Phillies are massively underperforming right now and I’m sure Rob Thomson is on the hot seat as well. Ironically he got the job because of the ladt Phillies’ slow start. Even if Cora’s relationship with DD has soured, I’d still take that job over the perennially misguided Mets. The Phillies players are underperforming, this is true. The Mets’ roster is a mishmash of overpaid decline, under-talented arms, and Juan Soto and Lindor. Go there and Cora’s ceiling is avoiding being the scapegoat.

Baby steps. No need to throw Arias into the fray just yet, especially with all the stories abound on how the Sox are upset with younger players not following the team’s developmental paths. Just play the hot hands in the OF, swap Mayer and Story on the field. No idea if Story makes an issue out of changing positions like some other man-child infielder of recent years. But Story really has no leverage here. Is he going to refuse and take his .550 OPS into a self-imposed benching? Because that’s not exactly the worst threat I’ve ever heard. Oh, and keep Tolle in the rotation but move Bello to the bullpen. If Brayan rights the ship there it solves two problems. If he doesn’t, he pushes Watson out the door for the mop up job. Literally no risk…
-
Mets aren’t a flawed roster?
-
Is that Cora’s version of the Houston scandal? This is a very mafia-esque view on ethics and integrity…
-
I suppose Mets have to be a consideration as well…
-
Carrabis thinks Varitek is also fired but the org didn’t want to announce as much…
-
That last guy doesn’t count because rules dont apply to him…
-
They not only fired Fatse, they fired his assistant. And, according to some sources, his mom…
-
2020 wasn’t Cora. That was Ron Roenicke…
-
And Pete Fatse was promoted to VP. Just kidding. He was canned. So Cora is 100% likely to get another job. Where will he land?
-
I heard that, but I’m not entirely sure this was scapegoating…
-
The new manager might be able to. But they probably want SOME consistency for the interim manager (reportedly Chad Tracy)…
-
If things don’t change, Breslow is likely next…
