    Your example was Beltrán being fired by the Mets. Being “fired by the Mets” is NOT a league punishment. Manfred had NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. The Mets clearly did not like the negative PR associated with Beltran’s name, but they made their own choice to fire him And really, Cora has not yet been punished by the league either. He’s been fired by the Red Sox but that isn’t the same thing...

    I think whoever the Sox hire will be a one year fill in
  3. notin
    I didn’t even know you could pluralize Mariners fan...
  4. notin
    Exactly. Which is why he isn’ta good example to my question about whether or not a manager could be punished for cheating on a previous team...
  5. notin
    Not relevant. The Commissioner didn’t take any action against Beltran...
  6. notin
    If you are going to insist on a bilingual manager, Carlos Beltran in available...
  7. notin
    Whether or not the Mets fire a player is completely independent of whether or not the league can punish him for transgressions in a previous uniform...
  8. notin
    He’s worth a shot. But if the Sox want a LHH 1b, Bird shouldn’t be the only one they sign...
  9. notin
    Could he have been suspended from the Red Sox for what he did in Houston?

    How do you know Ron Roenicke isn’t bilingual? The guy has 4 years experience under his belt. Safe bet he talked to a Dominican player at some point in that tenure. And really, with maybe 4 weeks until pitchers and catchers report, whoever manages the Sox this year is likely to be considered an interim manager with the real search starting next year...
  11. notin
    That there have been absolutely no rumors might be an indication that the new hiring will be internal (Roenicke?) and they expect to be cleared of any wrongdoing in the current investigation...

    It’s a tough call. Would having a better roster make for a more attractive opportunity for a managerial candidate? Or will anyone left be desperate? Or are they all so egomaniacal that each one figures he and he alone can win it all with this current or any roster regardless of what history has shown? (I think it’s the last one myself, but it’s not like I’m basing that on anything.)
  13. notin
    I don’t think it’s a matter of trying. We all suspected he’d be limited financially and he’s actually been acting just as if that was the case...
  14. notin
    As opposed to the major moves he was making before Cora was fired?
  15. notin
    And it all started with Osich, a lefty Bloom acquires twice...
  16. notin
    I like the Bloom hire and get the limited activity. I just wonder why nearly all of his acquisitions to date have been high strikeout left-handed relief pitchers...
  17. notin
    Lakins is a righty. Lefties only with Bloom..
  18. notin
    That because any rumor about the Red Sox = proof. However, rumors about the Yankees are unsubstantiaed lies, even after Andy Pettitte confesses...
  19. notin
    Inside information on the Mets, sure. On the Astros? Not looking good...
  20. notin
    Apparently the Sox will be throwing it left-handed...
  21. notin
    But how many high-strikeout AAAA left-handed pitchers do the Sox need?
  22. notin
    Wow! Spot on. I’ve heard him say that so many times...
  23. notin
    I see you can do a Yankee fan. Now do Jack Nicholson!
  24. notin
    That’s actually true. So far all the evidence we know of rests on the hiring of former Astros. But jacko’s already stripped the Sox draft picks while exonerating the Yankees...
  25. notin
    You’re paraphrasing in a way to make it more suspicious. Cora never said those s bolder words. Now he did say “I was joking when I said Carlos Beltrán was their biggest free agent acquisition” and then went on about details. Sure, he absolutely could have been alluding to cheating. Or he might have meant something else. They did do things besides cheat together, and Beltrán seems to draw praise from everyone everywhere. My mind is open on all this and while I admit I have some strong suspicions, there is a chance I’m wrong. And that doesn’t mean anything is being covered up. Of course, it doesn’t eliminate the possibility either;)
