Yup. It was his first time managing baseball that matters. I am sure he learned from his mistakes. As soon as more accomplished mangers came off of MLB suspension they kicked Ricky to the curb.


4 years and 2 contracts

JR likes to give out lifetime contracts to loyal soldiers but not everyone gets them

I wonder if Ricky was officially fired or his contract was not renewed. They extended him but never said for how long so maybe he just ran out of contract.

JR hasn't fired a manager in ages.

I have no problem with him getting bounced. Managers are hired to be fired. But I'm not kidding myself that replacing Renteria gets the Sox closer to a championship.
It doesn't take them further away from one, either. Having Ricky back in the dugout next season after what we saw in Cleveland and Oakland absolutely takes them further away from a championship.

Jerry is very old. Hahn has a singular mission before Jerry's demise.

I believe the last manager the Sox truly fired was Jerry Manuel after the '03 season.

I would have preferred keeping Renteria to LaRussa.

I don't believe it, I think they'd hire AJ before Larussa.

My Guy told me that the Sox reached out to larussa to try to get some information on AJ Hinch. Since larussa is involved with the Diamondbacks and AJ was there as well, they wanted to find out what they could. No MLB team can talk directly to AJ hinch until the day after the World Series ends.

Or have Larussa say something to AJ.

Seems like a White Sox move- wait to hire the loser.

Your guy also tells you to use a spoon.

I like Espada and Quatraro followed by Bochy and Hinch.

I don't know how important previous field managerial experience is compared to a bench coach who is performing most of the tasks of a manager.

I'm most intrigued by Sandy Alomar jr.
If they hire LaRussa, I'll break shit. I don't think this is even a realy possibility....just noise.

Ok with everyone else, but I'm the least interested in Alex Cora.
