RIPPA Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Offseason begins this evening for only half the league. We start with the news that the Red Sox will not bring back Ron Roenicke for next season EDIT - so that means that there are at least two openings since Detroit needs a permanent manager too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, at least the Tigers will get a lot better at, uh, "guessing" what pitches are coming. Very disappointing for this fan if they hire either guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's best to go with the Tom Waits Whitey Ford reference. And yeah. Gonna say it - screw Paul Simon. This is a better use of baseball players in a song than Mrs. Robinson.

Craig H Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Looks like Billy Beane is leaving the A's. He's joining with John Henry's sports venture thing that involves soccer and F1.

Technically this isn't true (though I am sure it will be in the future). Of course I am assuming nothing changed while I was sleeping since the story yesterday said this Quote Those talks are in their early stages and a deal isn’t an inevitability, and Quote It’s worth reiterating that nothing is yet official between RedBall and FSG Full story: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/10/billy-beanes-future-with-athletics-uncertain.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawful Metal Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 So what's the market for George Springer? Since he's a "cheater" does that mean teams won't want to sign him (Please let that be true)? I don't want him in a Yankees or Red Sox hat.
