Girardi will not return, according to sources

[CameronCrazy06]

Breaking news. I don't get it

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Washington bound?

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Would be a good hire by them. He can wear #1 for trying to win their first title hahaha

 

[Big Bid'Ness]

It was bound to happen, nothing shocking really.

 

[bosoxlover12]

unless he wanted out, it makes no sense. he was one game from making the world series

 

[Teagz]

George firing winning managers from beyond the grave. Incredible.

 

[Pugz]

strange. hopefully he goes to washington to get them over the hump

 

[PWNdroia]

Yeah, this doesn't make sense to me either.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

We live in an age of yes-men. Front Office want a manager who is not only successful but does everything they want them to do, and always agrees with them.

 

[A.E]

Makes a ton of sense given the direction of the team. Cashman wants a younger, more player-friendly manager that is big on analytics. Yanks have built a fairly large analytics dept and while Joe didn't necessarily ignore it, he certainly isn't embracing it like the AJ Hinch's and Dave Roberts's of MLB do. Girardi is old school, he's more rugged, and likely wants to be paid like a guy who spent 10 years dealing with the NY media.
 
There's a few skippers on the Farm who've won games with Kraken, Judge, Bird, Severino, etc. 
 
If anything, I wish the Yanks would've made this decision a little sooner and at least interviewed Alex Cora.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

An AE sighting!

You think they're going in-house? Any names you've heard about, or anyone you would prefer?

[Teagz]

Is Cora actually a big analytics guy or do people just assume he is because he works for the Astros?

 

[A.E]

An AE sighting!

You think they're going in-house? Any names you've heard about, or anyone you would prefer?

I'm thinking Kevin Long, Al Pedrique, or Bobby Mitchell. Long has experience in the Bronx while Pedrique and Mitchell have successfully managed much of the Yankees' young core in the minors. 
 
I honestly don't care who it is, as long as they don't manage the young talent backwards. John Farrell sealed his fate in Boston when virtually all of their younger talent took a step back in 2017. Girardi's strength was how he handled the media and commanded the clubhouse. His in-game management skills and relating to young players.... not so good.
 

Girardi>>>>>>>>Cora

TBD. Cora hasn't managed a game yet so its not a fair assumption.

From what I've read his experience working with the Astros was favorable largely because of their work with analytics. Either way, the Red Sox coveted Cora because of his communication skills and how well he works with players. Haven't read one negative about Cora's personality. It was no secret in Boston that the players better respected and confided in Torey Lovullo. Torey wasn't on Farrell's bench this season and the clubhouse went to shit.

Exactly what I've been reading. Cora was always good at controlling Manny. People respect him.

As a Red Sox fan, what moves do you see them making? Does Dombrowski at the wheel of personnel decisions petrify you at all?

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Honestly from what I've been reading, it wouldn't surprise me if the outfield gets broken up. It sounds a lot like JBJ could be packaged with Benintendi shifting to centre and signing Martinez for left field. 
 
We also need someone at first. I don't want anything to do Hosmer. Moreland is like a one win player, so he's nothing special. Some have suggested shifting Devers to first (dude's glove needs major work) and then maybe resigning Nunez. 
 
Overall, we're still hurting from Cherington. Ramirez and Porcello's contracts aren't pretty. Plus we got dead money from the likes of Castillo and Sandoval.

Stanton to Boston gets a lot of talk but I can’t see it happening. The Marlins don’t need OF, nor does Boston need another massive contract. Not a popular opinion but I believe the Sale Trade was a big error. The White Sox won in the long run and it’s not like Sale was good down the stretch.

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Sale's September performance made me nervous, not gonna lie. I still think Moncada's athleticism gets him overhyped. The strikeout percentage is scary. I've said it before, Kopech is the real prize in that trade. Dude throws straight filth.
 
And yeah obviously I'd love Stanton, throw him in left and watch him smack em over the green monster. Don't think we have the assets/would want to give them up. Betts would likely head the other direction.

 

[Teagz]

Trading for Stanton is a classic Dombrowski move. I'd bet on that deal going down.
