Will also note you are now gonna go get a new coach with a team that has a chance to be the worst team in the majors next year. You could hire the next Joe Torre to coach next year and have no idea if you look at the record. Plus that smell of suck is gonna be around this new manager for a long time. Now maybe they are decent next year, which would be great. I seriously doubt that as I see Ryan and Pablo both being traded this off season.
Agreed, especially Pablo, as he’s been racking up the frequent hot tub time machine trips over the last couple of seasons.
He needs a healthy first half to maximize his trade value.
I’d trade Ryan, as he wussed out in the second half; yes they gutted the team, but you could’ve win 15+ games and generated Cy Young buzz for next season and maybe increased your future earnings.
We’re a loooooooonng way from Lefty, aka Steve Carlton, and this feat for the 1972 Phils -
One of his most remarkable records was accounting for nearly half (46%) of his team's wins, when he won 27 games for the last-place (59–97)
1972 Phillies.
Yes, he won the Cy Young Award for a last place team and is still being lionized for it 50+ years later.
When life or the trade deadline gives you
shit Joey, make
salad.
My person option is they should have gone one more year with Rocco and let him eat the losses. Then you can bring in the new manager in 2027. I wonder if the entire coaching staff is gone also?
Any experienced manager will likely request his own staff and there is nothing the Twins did particularly well this season. So, it makes no sense that anyone is retained.
Whereas, a first time manager will acquiesce to any personnel stipulation from management.
