Red Sox/MLB 2023 Off-Season - Red Sox-Yankees trade

[IveGotToBeMe]

Let’s face it, whoever is selected will be trashed by 77.3% of this board. Whoever it is, let’s give them a chance. If the ownership group puts them on a short leash I will be pissed off but I think they’ve got to let the next guy have some level of autonomy. I’d be happy with Breslow, very intelligent, played the game, knows Boston and the fan base well. If it doesn’t turn out well and it’s his fault (not the awful ownership group) then we can bash him.

Ok mods. Update the thread title to include "No new GM bashing until after he gets fired"

I think the more bigger question here is: no big names WANTED the job.

That's embarrassing

Is this all a show and then they just promote Romero? Or could there be a new candidate:

 

[Johnnyduke]

He graduated from Yale, degree in biochemistry and molecular biophysics

Yay!

Giants to announce Bob Melvin as manager

The Giants moved quickly once the Padres granted permission to speak to Melvin.

[McGarnagle]

At least he played baseball so he knows the market and can relate to players, but it's also another privileged kid from Yale. Tom Werner's type of people.

Bradford definitely confirms that Breslow has been offered the job:

Oh what could go wrong with this final piece...

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

Says a lot about an ownership when they are a big market team, get turned down by multiple candidates and now have to settle for someone who hasn’t agreed yet

 

[Johnnyduke]

Breslow must be making sure he's not getting the Dwight Schrute treatment. No assistant to the manager title for him!

I hope hes a shrewd GM instead of a nice guy yes man but Im not expecting miracles.

Not sure i am ready for the Craig Breslow experience

I was underwhelmed by all the candidates being tossed around so pretty happy if it’s Breslow. Played here and played in general. Will shake things up and be aggressive.

I hate Philly let’s go d bags!

I wish Curt Schilling was less of an ahole and could be calling games between his former teams.

In this area the cubs made a major leap. Went from a TINSTAPP org to having several big time arms coming

A little contradictory don’t you think

Harper taking a 95 MPH fastball with no movement dead center of the zone, to swing at junk to fly out the next pitch with two men on summarizes the Phillies series with RISP.

Maybe? Who knows?

Sox fans have complained about the lack of pitching development, and deservedly so. Given the advances the Cubs have made with Breslow, hopefully we see similar results in Boston.

 

[Johnnyduke]

I like this Ginkel guy but Phillies also lacking plate discipline

Is he friends with Chaim Bloom?
