Craig H Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 NEW MANAGERS AND GMS FOR EVERYONE! Also, in what could be the most hilarious news of the offseason: http://www.mccoveychronicles.com/2015/9/30/9426975/dusty-baker-dodgers-padres It's an SBN site, but it's maybe the best SBN site for baseball. If A.J. Preller somehow holds onto his job AND he hires Dusty Baker to be the manager of the Padres, it would be maybe one of the biggest Peter from Office Space type moves I could even think of. Again, if true, Preller looks like he's just trying to get fired because I can't think of any other explanation for not trading anyone away at the trade deadline and this. I hope this happens. Oh please, let this happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuetsar Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Speaking of managers The Marlins have already interviewed Manny Acta and Bo Porter Why would you take that job unless a) you have no other options or b ) you want to have a couple of years worth of checks without working?

Joe Lucia Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 There's only 30 of these jobs. He's failed twice. Might not get another chance again. Isn't getting any younger. Also, free money for the next four years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a scorched earth policy that even Dan Snyder hasn't done Sad day for us Mets fans. I still say he deserves to be voted a full playoff share for all he did for us. Hope he enjoys his next managerial job in either the Can-Am or Pecos League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
