00:00I heard from Terry Francona yesterday on the Baseball Isn't Boring podcast, and he was

00:04expressing his respect for Jerry Reinsdorf because he used to work in the White Sox organization

00:10as everybody knows and maybe has forgotten.

00:14Do you consider, knowing both men as well as you do, do you consider Terry Francona

00:18a candidate for the Sox managerial job or a role in the Sox organization?

00:23I think the latter.

00:25I think bringing in somebody with Chris Goetz as a consultant, somebody that, you know,

00:33look, Tony La Russa is a consultant for baseball operations, but he's more an on-field guy.

00:42We're talking about a Dayton Moore who did it with Kansas City or somebody of that ilk,

00:51you know, a Kim Ng who has such a great reputation in baseball and got a horrible situation put

00:58in front of her in Florida.

01:00Those are the type of people, you know, that can help a front office, not take away the

01:05power of Chris Goetz, but add to it by their experience.

01:12I would love to see somebody like that come in.

01:15I remember when Kenny Williams was hired to be the general manager, the first move that

01:19Jerry Reinsdorf made was hiring Rovan Heeman, who had such a great reputation and such a

01:26great baseball man, as a consultant with Kenny to get him through some of the rough parts

01:33of learning how to make trades, deal with other general managers, run a ball club.

01:42I would love to see that happen for Chris.

01:45I'd like to see Chris be a part of that because he is the top man in baseball operations.

01:51I'd like to see him have a say-so.

01:54He has a working relationship from the past with a few of these people.

02:01I would say that him being involved would be a good idea, but I don't think you can

02:08have too many great baseball minds helping you when you're starting out something as

02:15challenging as rebuilding the Chicago White Sox.
