MLB trade rumors article about Barfield (white Sox) and Andy Flores (cardinals)

I’m sure everyone here saw the red carpet walk Crane had with the protégés’ protégés’ protégés

At least the considerable regression in regards to player development has been noticed

We were told we could have a GM in place before the end of the World Series. Crane is currently in Tawain. I'm thinking the Brewers guy may be a done deal.

Yeah, logical conclusion. They know who they're gonna hire if they're hiring these other dudes. Probably guys the new GM wanted as part of the deal. Could be possible they're waiting til after the Series to announce it.

Seems like a great hire on paper if he’s allowed to do his job.

Barfield went to my HS. Older than me but everything I ever heard about him made him seem like a good dude

1 of 2 things:

Either the hire has been made and that person is signing off on everything

OR

Bagwell/Crane are already handcuffing the next guy

I have to assume with the nerd hirings it is the former

The fact that Dickey and Cook are even bejng considered is ridiculous. If they were that special you would have named one of them when Dana got canned. This org needs a big reset. The bagwell approavh has resulted in more losses ever single year than the previous one, a pile of albatross underwater contracts and a near barren farm.

But Crane likes rubbing elbows with Bagwell. Right now, that seems to take precedence.

At this point you have to wonder if they are rubbing more than elbows for Ctane to continue to take advice from someone who torpedoed his business.

Dk much about him. Seems like he did a really good job for a stretch in DC with an owner that didn’t always open up the purse strings (outside of the Strasburg, Scherzer, Werth, and Corbin deals)

They didn’t make the postseason again after winning the World Series, and I think they were way behind in analytics when he got fired. So perfect hire for Cranewell if they want to keep this thing going in the wrong direction.

Yea it definitely ended poorly after their run in '19.

The Soto trade is looking like it was a good one, relative easy trade just give me your best players and I'll you Soto.

The Scherzer/Turner trade was a dud. None of the dudes from the Dodgers have helped them.

Would rather not a retread honestly, just thought it was an interesting name and we hadn't heard about too many guys with experience in the position already getting run as a name in this search.

Maybe we'll get lucky, the lockout lasts a couple of years, and Crane has to dump the team due to finances and Bagwell gets bored and finds some newer titties to play with.

win, win, win.
