Neal Huntington? Fire Sam Kennedy.
The fact that all of these guys have declined is embarrassing to the Red Sox. We've fallen so quickly.
I'm still skeptical that basically all of baseball has their feelings hurt over Chaim Bloom being fired so "quickly". Jeff Passan was distraught. It's just very difficult to believe all these are scared of taking over an organization with a good farm system and money to spend. But I don't have any sources so I will at least grant that some of these candidates are turned off by the structure of the Red Sox organization. Does John Henry at least follow what is being reported? Tom Werner? I'd be calling Sam Kennedy over to Liverpool for a face to face meeting just so I could ask him what exactly he does for the Boston Red Sox. Talk about a guy who gets ZERO criticism. It's him. Cora has detractors, ownership has them but how about the guy that allegedly runs the baseball team.

Eh.
Who was Theo Epstein before he was given a shot?
Maybe the guys who didn’t want to be here wouldn’t have been successful anyway.
IMO, there is no way, after what we’ve seen over the past couple of years that ownership doesn’t change their tact.
They aren’t perfect by any measure, but the Sox will still spend. Just need someone else to evaluate talent.

Since they have no problem with cheats, (I do, for the obvious reason that you should be able to do the job well without it.) Click might be a fit.

I think you might be confusing James Click with his predecessor, Jeff Luhnow.

Probably , as all I could find was a mild cheating accusation in 2021. I don't trust anyone from that scumbag organization though. Though I admire his savvy, that includes Cora.

Oakland Athletics closer Trevor May announces retirement before BLA...
Trevor May blasted A's owner John Fisher, who is planning to move the club from the Oakland Coliseum to a $1.5 billion new facility on the Las Vegas Strip.
Had a HOF executive, downgraded massively to Chaim Bloom and now "nobody" wants the job. Under proper ownership of a big market club Dombrowski should still be here. Blown out the door during a winning season after a record setting WS title and given no chance to regroup. All because the owner wanted to penny pinch.

Yup, which is the biggest issue with analytics/moneyball
Yes, the law of averages works over a 162 game sample. But in the playoffs there aren't enough games for it to win out. You need "old school" contributions like home runs, strikouts from pitchers, innings pitched to save the pen, etc.

That poor girl should have had at least a couple of more years of blissful childhood before getting smacked in the head with the "Some people are assholes" life lesson.....Poor Kid.

Too soon. I still haven't gotten over 2021, scoring 20+ runs in G2&3, and then 3 total G4-6.
LOL. I was just talking to my brother about that and its very possible. Texas has pretty much had everything fall their way over their first 7 games....and regression to the mean is definitely a concern.
My bro is still so emotionally scarred from losing Game 6 in the 2011 World Series, that he refuses to allow himself any optimism at all.....

Seems even Raq doesn’t want the job.
