Even the NFL doesn't prohibit it as you are allowed to own other franchises if it is in the same market. (Remember Paul Allen owned both the Seahawks and Trail Blazers because the NFL basically thinks the entire Upper Northwest is the same market) And then they got rid of that rule a few years ago mainly for Stan Kroenke 1
Dolfan in NYC Posted October 21, 2022 Posted October 21, 2022 Miami interviewed Skip Schumaker for the managerial job today. Morosi says he's a "top candidate"
Cobra Commander Posted October 21, 2022 Posted October 21, 2022 so there's multiple rumored candidates, which is more than the search that led to hiring Matheny
Cobra Commander Posted October 21, 2022 Posted October 21, 2022 1 hour ago, RIPPA said: I swear I am not making this up The White Sox are going to interview Ozzie Guillen for their open position one Chicago area guy is reporting the White Sox will hire Espada, which I'd guess would be delayed by the Astros still being in the playoffs thing
RIPPA Posted October 21, 2022 Author Posted October 21, 2022 Miami has requested speaking to a lot of folks - including Walt Weiss who turned them down The Marlins have interviewed Espada twice so yeah... someone's sources are wrong (just a question of who)
Cobra Commander Posted October 22, 2022 Posted October 22, 2022 Of course the big piece for the Espada market is Dusty Baker. I could see Dusty retiring if he wins the World Series.
RIPPA Posted October 23, 2022 Author Posted October 23, 2022 Joe Maddon is now basically campaigning to get interviewed for the White Sox job Quote As the White Sox continue to hunt for a new manager, one prominent name yet to be involved in the mix is Joe Maddon. The former Rays/Cubs/Angels skipper told the Cubs Talk podcast (on NBC Sports Chicago, hat tip to Tim Stebbins) that “I’ve not heard from [the White Sox] at all,” though Maddon would “of course…be interested” in chatting with the team. Apparently, he is on a book tour, so it is a probably a combo of Maddon wanting a job and trying sell books 1
Lawful Metal Posted October 24, 2022 Posted October 24, 2022 If Aaron Judge goes all Kevin Durant and joins the Astros I will take back everything I ever said about Judge and Durant no I won’t 1

Dolfan in NYC Posted October 24, 2022 Posted October 24, 2022 Off the top of my head, I'd say Judge's likely landing spots are probably: 1) SF 2) NYY 3) NYM 4) TOR? After that, I'd say there's almost no chance for anyone else. Maaaaybe the Dodgers? All I know is, he'd better not be listening to the FAN or be on Twitter at all for the next month or so.

The people who don't want him back clearly didn't watch the 2nd half of the season because if they did they would have realized the Yanks would have been lucky to have been the 3rd WC without him I mean look at the offense now. Now imagine it without Aaron Judge Fucking morons. 1

RIPPA Posted October 24, 2022 Author Posted October 24, 2022 The 4 finalists for the Marlins job are Matt Quatraro (Rays Bench Coach) Joe Espada (Astros Bench Coach) Skip Schumaker (Cards Bench Coach) Luis Rojas (current Yanks 3B Coach, former Mets manager)

RIPPA Posted October 24, 2022 Author Posted October 24, 2022 Well that is a different issue than what I was talking about If people wanna get rid of Aaron Boone - go right ahead. Though I would be deeply concerned about a "careful what you wish for hire" with like Joe Maddon or some equally as terrible And Cashman certainly didn't do himself any favors this year

Even if they get rid of Boone, with the way the FO is set up as pure (very poor) analytics team, it's not like the next guy is gonna be better until they decide on an identity. Ether go back to being the evil Empire that George ran with an iron fist, or play moneyball.

I appreciate you including Toronto, but we are in dire need of a left handed bat in our order. Personally I'd love to see Judge sign with the Mets. On so many levels that would be absolutely fascinating and entertaining lol
Cobra Commander Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 The Rays are the Tesla of baseball, which means that the people who are really into what the Rays do are really into what the Rays do. Hopefully the "hire people from the Rays" approach works better than hiring Belichick's assistants/co-workers.
