No thanks on anything to do with anyone in the A's organization. I know they have limited resources but that team is a tire fire and their farm isn't anything outstanding for how bad they've been recently. They make awful trades too. Nope.
Antonetti intrigues me though, if there was ever an organization that seems to have the ability to get the most out of their pitchers and develop them it's the Guardians and he's their POBO. I would take him in a second.
I said this in the Bloom was fired thread but feels like it belongs in here too

That has nothing to do with the GM. |

Ownership aren't the ones overseeing the farm system that isn't any good even though they haven't been very good in years. Hard pass from me on anyone in that org. Not disagreeing the owners are awful though, they are terrible. |

Indians Guardians fans already seem very scared which is a nice pseudo-recommendation for Antonetti.

Antonetti was voted exec of the year just last season. I do have to wonder, how would he be available? Is his contract up? If not I can't imagine the Guardians would just say oh yea sure go to the Red Sox we won't stop that? He's already their POBO so it's not a scenario where it's a GM who would be getting a promotion in the new org.

Can't remember Cleveland doing anything obviously stupid. They convinced Jose Ramirez and Andres Gimenez to stick around for cheap recently.
4 of their last 7 first round picks, and their last 6 second round picks were pitchers so that may be one difference from the Chaim regime.

Can they outright just sign Antonetti or will they have trade the 2023 version of Mike Aviles, Pablo Reyes?

Everything I have seen so far has been journalists publishing their wild speculation. I need to stop letting them win by clicking.

Very true, that's all we're going to get probably until the end of the season or there abouts. I don't think they'll have a new POBO/GM in the next week or anything. Probably working ourselves up in a tizzy for nothing. |

I hope they promote Ferreira. I think this was a PR-based firing, so I want organizational continuity. Bringing in someone from the outside and saying, "You can't hire your own FO staff and you're stuck with Cora" is silly.

Is there any merit to any of these? I feel like a lot of reporters just have a list of 2nd-in-command guys at top organizations like dodgers, rays, etc or top guys at really good small market organizations like Cleveland, Milwaukee, etc.
I shouldn't lump every report into that. I'm sure some reporters actually have insight

Larry Luccino says BobbyV should have the job.

No idea if any of these guys are actually available but of the names mentioned I like Antonetti, Gomes, and Hazen and Fuld seems promising. I really hope they don't go to Cora.
Antonetti is the one guy speculated who I think I'd actually be excited to have over Bloom, but will be interesting.

I would think if Ed Romero doesn't get the job, then he's outta here.

Just bring me someone who values the farm system and building from within.

If this was just a PR firing to satisfy the media and the vocal parts of the fanbase that didn't like Bloom, hiring BOH, Romero, or Ferreira would make the most sense to maintain organizational continuity. I think reporting indicates that BOH is not in the running, though, so who knows? |

Wasnt the thought behind the original Bloom hire - to recreate something similar to what Friedman had in LA? Well for the next hire maybe look to LA (or Atlanta)? Not sure are the potential candidates though.

I would think he'd be less petulant. It is possible to leave a job amicably, you know. Sure. But as the comment was written "if/then ... outta here" it sounded much like a "take this job and shove it," reaction to not getting a promotion, which my reply was in response to. To me that would be a petulant response. He's had a job here 17 years. I wouldn't think he'd be in any hurry to move along, whether offered the job, or not. |
