2023 MLB Thread

[Dr. Blackheart]

Plenty of room on the North Side bandwagon, Sox fans.

[WhiteTrash]

The White Sox and Bulls simultaneously have the worst front offices in their respective leagues. No other owner can claim that title; well done Jerry.

I have 100x more faith in Williams leading the Sox than Getz, and Williams was no longer a MLB caliber GM. 

** I see the White Sox fan board already has a 4 page "Fire Getz" thread going.

The Omar Vizquel situation is all the reason you need to fire him

[Lennys Tap]

Jim Bowden loves the Getz hire, called it "perfect". WTF?

Sounds like he's fishing for a consultant role.

AL West getting wild

These teams are basically begging the Blue Jays to come jack one of the spots and the Jays just keep hovering not fully taking it.

Rangers bullpen is incredibly bad. 0 chance at winning even the AL much less the WS with a pen like that.

[MUfan12]

Wake me up when Craigtember ends.

[HutchwasClutch]

Brewers no hitting the Yankees through 9 1/3 so far.  Yankees have had two base runners all day. 

Sure hope this isn't wasted.

Cincinnati picked a bad time to have COVID go through their clubhouse.

[CreightonWarrior]

Would've gladly taken an 11-0 win tonight and get a 1-0 wi yesterday with a 10 inning no hitter.

Gods way of punishing the organization for being so cheap. Nice return by Hunter though.

Stearns to the Mets.  Glad for him.  Did great work in Milwaukee and left the place better than he found it.

Will Counsell follow?

Will Cohen let him develop players or just expect him to spend a lot for a quick fix?

[cheebs09]

Will Counsell follow?

I've seen that concern, but don't think it will happen. No inside info, but if not managing the Brewers, I imagine him being in the front office and spending more time with family.

[Uncle Rico]

Will Counsell follow?

I'd be surprised.  I'm not sure what to think of Counsell's future.

Will Cohen let him develop players or just expect him to spend a lot for a quick fix?

It's been discussed at nauseum on New York City sports radio.  Uncle Stevie has publicly stated several times the best way to build up the organization is develop a strong farm system.  The Mets won't trade their top prospects and the Scherzer and Verlander trades are examples.

I think Stearns wouldn't have taken the gig unless they saw eye to eye on the process for building a team.

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

Plus Stearns said he grew up a Mets fan.

[wadesworld]

This was always just a matter of time.

Do you think Cohen will be that patient?

[JWags85]

Do you think Cohen will be that patient?

Yes I think Cohen is/will be impatient if something is totally not working, aka cutting bait on a big/expensive signing. But if it's building as part of a process, he's understanding, aka young talent

[cheebs09]

Also, we really have no idea how Stearns will build a big payroll team. I'm sure he will be a little more aggressive for stars.

When Andy MacPhail left the Twins for the Cubs, many said, "If he could win 2 World Series with cheap-ass Minnesota, just think how good he'll be running an organization that's willing to open the wallet."

Turns out ... not so good.

I have no ill will towards Stearns.  Hope he does well except against Milwaukee.
