Great hire. Hopefully good times are coming soon in the desert after the way the old FO ruined them

How much longer before every executive in baseball has served under Theo Epstein at one point?
Hazen, Hoyer, McLeod, Dipota, Byrnes, Sawdaye, Cherington, Rehman, Shipley, Dorey, ect., ect.

If the Cubs win the WS this year? All of them 🙂

Hold up, I never knew this and perhaps I lived under a rock during last years hires.
A former Vet and long time buddy of LaRussa’s got the head of analytics? How doesn’t ownership step in there? That’s worse than Frank Wren I believe, hiring his brother on as a scout when he had little to no scouting expertise. I’m one of the fans that thinks ownership shouldn’t be in too far but yeesh. That explains so much.

That’s awful. They must’ve had a list of names on a dart board and that’s how they picked who got which job.

Frank Wren worked as a scout for almost 20 years.

I guess we know what La Russa thinks of analytics now.

Boston’s letting a lot of the front office just walk, some good personnel too. Cherington and Hazen led the charge.

In my opinion and it’s only that Sawdaye made the correct decision. If he took the job in Boston yes he would have a nice title but absolutely no authority to make any real decisions that rest with Dombrowski and no one else. He doesn’t have the fancy title with the Diamondbacks but what decisions he makes and authority he will have are all his. Plus he’s working with someone who is familiar with him and he is familiar with and that’s pretty important in my book.
