According to ESPN's Jim Bowden, former Padres manager Bud Black is the lead candidate to replace Matt Williams in D.C., and he could be offered a deal as early as tomorrow. Dusty Baker is the only other candidate left.

Eesh

Guess they're pretty close-minded on what they want.



Mr. Ed -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (10/28/2015 4:52:39 PM)

Ron Gardenhire is the leading candidate to be the next manager of the San Diego Padres. Rick Sofield is the other finalist according to sources familiar with the situation.

Well, he already has the Padre Cut hairstyle going .... Good fit.



twinsfan -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (10/28/2015 6:09:01 PM)

You know Gardy is playing nice in interviews. "yes, I'll listen to input from your stat geeks. I'm embracing that stuff now."

The Washington Nationals will name former San Diego Padres skipper Bud Black as the sixth manager in franchise history, according to a report by the Washington Post.

The Nationals are not expected to make the announcement until after the World Series.



twinsfan -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (10/29/2015 12:03:01 PM)

Sorry Gardy.

Andy Green named manager of the Padres.



twinsfan -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (10/29/2015 12:04:43 PM)

Andy Green is one month older than I am. Not sure there's ever been a manager that's younger than me? That was a close call.

It's the Marlins job.

It will be available again in less than 6 months.

Morneau's option declined.

If they didn't have you know who at 1st already I could see that happening.

"You know who" continues to throw a wrench in everything. I'd write him a check for $69 million and tell him he's released. Good riddance.

The F is right next to the G and my hands are always leathery and callused this time of year. [:D] Good thing is wifey doesn't beg for back rubs.



Mr. Ed -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (11/2/2015 10:55:41 AM)

Here’s a schedule of the most important dates facing front offices this winter…

Nov. 2: First day of an exclusive five-day negotiation window which all teams have with their free-agent-eligible players.
Nov. 6: Final day for teams to extend qualifying offers to free agents. Qualifying offers must be submitted by 5pm ET.
Nov. 7: Players become eligible to sign with any team.
Nov. 13: Deadline for players to accept or reject qualifying offers. Players must formally make their decision by 5pm ET.
Nov. 9-12: GM Meetings are held in Florida. While not as active as December’s Winter Meetings, the groundwork for many trades and free-agent signings will take place here, and a few moves figure to be completed.
Dec. 2: Deadline for teams to decide whether or not to tender contracts to their arbitration-eligible players. The free agent market should expand to some degree on this day, albeit with relatively minor names.
Dec. 7-10: Winter Meetings in Nashville. These four days are among the most chaotic of the year for those who follow trades and free agency — often even more so than the days leading up to the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline. MLBTR will be providing 24-hour, around-the-clock coverage while the Winter Meetings are in effect. It should be noted that the Rule 5 Draft will be held on the final day of the Winter Meetings.

All that and with a stiff wind...another concussion!



Mr. Ed -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (11/3/2015 12:05:16 PM)

RA Dickey will be back in TOR for 12 mill at 41 years of age.

Pedestrian overall numbers, better after a horrible start,then punctuated by a horrible playoff start.



Mr. Ed -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (11/3/2015 12:05:52 PM)

Is it any wonder the GM there got fired??


As had been expected, the Phillies have declined their club option on lefty Cliff Lee, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports on Twitter. The veteran will receive a $12.5MM buyout on the option, which was valued at $27.5MM.



twinsfan -> RE: MLB General Information PT 4 (11/3/2015 12:09:37 PM)

I wonder if Cliff Lee will retire? He would have to pitch for about the veteran minimum next season, and I don't think he would do that.

He could try. Heck he's getting 12 mill to go away [:-]

Pfffft .... The Mets are paying Bobby Bonilla for another couple decades.
It's just money.
