2020-21 Baseball Offseason Thread

He and La Russa have been close since his first go-round with the Sox.

 

Apparently the Tigers are moving to snap up Hinch.

Sources: Tigers, Hinch finalizing managerial deal

From his standpoint, I don't get it; Detroit is still one manager, maybe two, away from getting good enough to compete.

 

This board's hatred of La Russa is part of the paneling by now.

 

I like LaRussa - the hire seems strange. Any word from Houston if Dusty will be back?

 

What did he do to lead you believe he wouldn’t be?

 

They picked up his option for next year in July, sure. The initial signing seemed more like a damage control/interim move.
Crazy to think that all three major sports teams in Houston have fired their managers/coaches AND GMs this year.

 

The ceiling of the home dugout at Yankee Stadium will be much easier to maintain next season:

Yankees Decline Brett Gardner's Option

Did anyone else know Sabo is head coach at Akron U?


Rocco Constantino‎ to "THE DUGOUT" A FORUM FOR THE LOVE OF BASEBALL

Had the chance to interview Chris Sabo for my column this week. Interesting man for sure!

Spuds McKenzie: Chris Sabo

 

That’s nothing to spit at.

 

Meanwhile, they made a qualifying offer to LeMehieu (who I think they absolutely need to resign), and didn’t make offers to Tanaka, Paxton and Happ. I think they should resign Tanaka.

Unsurprisingly, Stanton chose not to opt out.

 

MLB Trade Rumors released it annual top 50 free agent list with predictions. Fun read, but I don't see Bauer to the Dodgers. They aren't going to pay him when they have a stable of young arms.
