No experience
All of the retreads are weak AF...Every single one of them have an under .500 record...

I would rather have a bench coach from a great org. than a former manager like Phil Nevin that had to shitty years managing the Angels...lol

None of those guys are former players or have any coaching experience. Thats like hiring a video guy in the NBA. Defense does need to be a huge priority. I like Lanares the best. All those guys should still get interviews. Pat Murphy coached in college. Aaron Boone played played so did Alex Cora. Either way he's gotta nail this hire. Still the best team in the division. Why did you pick him DT?

Boone and Murphy are the managers of the Yankees and Brewers and aren't allowed to manage two teams at the same time. Cora is not managing next season.

Looks like Linares would be a good choice too.

Here he is answering questions. Seems solid.

I like Kai Correa...

Kind of reminds me of Mike McDonald. Young, measured, stoic...

Not some hack catcher from the 90's.

Rocco Baldelli is the guy we should be pushing for. He’s 45, won AL Manager of the Year, and took the Twins to the postseason three times before their front office blew up the payroll. Right now, he’s in the Dodgers front office, meaning he’s spent the last year soaking in the best developmental and analytical system in baseball.

Hey at least he has a record over .500. Not quite 54% though. I would be fine with him...
