I guess it depends on what it would cost.Faceman wrote:I don't get paying for another teams on field manager. Makes no sense to me.
We really believe in Joe Maddon that much?
He's done a fantastic job with a really young Tampa team, and his management style fits with what a lot of people around here really like. It would be hard for anyone to argue why we should want to have any manager (or candidate) in baseball over Maddon.Faceman wrote:I don't get paying for another teams on field manager.

They paid Tony what, $5M this year? And would have next year? So Maddon = $1.4M so they could send $3M of cash and organizational filler to Tampa and still spend less than they would have on Tony.dmarx114 wrote:I guess it depends on what it would cost.Faceman wrote:I don't get paying for another teams on field manager.

But yeah, I do agree that paying for a manager is silly.
That's where I am. It's also not my money so I'm willing to throw it around on random whims and fancies.vinsanity wrote:They paid Tony what, $5M this year? And would have next year?

I'm not saying he's the best option, but it's not really that cost would be the issue.
You have to think he's gone as well right?docellis wrote:Duncan is going to be on 101.1 at 6pm to talk about his future

What a way to go out. The greatest decision makers of all time are highly loved and highly hated. Tony will go down as a Cardinal legend and one of the greatest managers of all time.
Isn't the cost usually a player?vinsanity wrote:They paid Tony what, $5M this year? And would have next year?
