If the Sox offered all that money undeferred, it might be worth more than his LA extension?

tbf . . . jbj is already 30 and his defense won't be able to carry him much longer. and they have at least extended bogaerts (for cheap)
but yeah

I may run past Fenway Park (it’s 2 miles from me) when the Mets are playing in a week or so to check out the atmosphere, but otherwise looking forward to a Boston team tanking for the first time in awhile.

rick renteria fired as white sox manager - not sure why since it felt like they overperformed or at least met expectations this season

that is weird
what team dares hire aj hinch/alex cora

they fired don cooper too

i have no particular opinion on how good a manager rick renteria is, but the way front offices value field managers is just bizarre
if you get hired to manage shitty teams -- which is usually where the openings are! -- you apparently get pegged as a guy who can only manage shitty teams
also ~curious~ which managers get multiple chances and which are never heard from again, e.g. gabe kapler vs. bo porter or willie randolph
also, lol

i mean joe torre was a terrible manager for three different teams before lucking into being hired by a rich juggernaut in 1996. even then he was notorious for killing relievers (where are u now, scott proctor) although i give him credit for keeping all the egos more or less in check

wtf
Can confirm Angels granted White Sox permission to interview Tony La Russa for managerial opening, as @BNightengale said. I don’t know if he has desire to manage again, but he was apparently very invested/involved as a special advisor this year. Still seemingly has that itch.— Alden Gonzalez (@Alden_Gonzalez) October 14, 2020

LaRussa would ragequit once he finds out about the "Relievers must face 3 batters" rule.
