00:00Help me lead this great organization.
00:03That's like, I was the guy in charge, now I'm getting fired.
00:07But I was in charge, don't forget it.
00:09It got turned over.
00:10Don't forget it.
00:11Don't forget who was running this thing.
00:12So now when it turns to dog crap, you can remember that I was the guy who was running the
00:16thing.
00:16You know who pulled the trigger now?
00:18I love that line.
00:19I don't believe this stuff about, you know, disappointed that he didn't finish the job.
00:24The opposite was true.
00:26He was thrilled to get fired.
00:27That's what he got criticized for.
00:28If you don't want to be here, get out.
00:30I think a big reason for this is that some of the stuff that 24 hours after probably didn't sit
00:35well with certain people around the league.
00:37They felt like it was a little bit immature, and this was him trying to clean it up.
00:40You're a couple days removed from the situation.
00:42You can act a little more rapidly.
00:44This is a professional email.
00:45Yes.
00:45This was like what the sign-off should have always been instead of a winky face.
00:49The cores are going to be okay.
00:50And I think he turned down that Phillies job, and there's a lot of questions about their future.
00:54He knows there's a lot of CBOs that are probably going to be cautious of him.
00:57If you're a young guy in this league and you're trying to hire a manager, you should be nervous about
01:01Alex Cora because he's shown he knows how to weasel.
01:04That's part of the Alex Cora thing.
01:06Yeah, and I think that's really the question off of all of this, which is how does he now look
01:10as a candidate for other teams that are going to...
01:15What's your goal as the organization would be my question?
01:18...look for a manager.
01:18What kind of manager does he check the box for?
01:21Is he a manager that you would hire and should hire for a young team?
01:24No.
01:25No, definitely not.
01:26And what he's now doing where we know, based on the globe today, that he wasn't willing to bend on
01:32his staff.
01:33Are you trying to carry these guys wherever you go?
01:35Because these CBOs, these GMs, they want a manager that's going to fall in line.
01:39You have to do what the philosophy says.
01:41Do not push back against it.
01:43Alex Cora's kind of made it clear.
01:44I will not bend to what you guys want.
01:46And if you don't want it, I'd leave.
01:48Maybe he changes his opinion now because of where he's at in his career.
01:50But at least in Boston, he wasn't willing to do that.
01:52Right.
01:53It's when you read about the tension that existed in the organization.
01:58Is that someone that you say, well, he's an easy guy to work with?
02:02He's flexible.
02:04He's open to new ideas.
02:05He's open to basically taking on the identity of what our franchise wants to be.
02:12Or is it you hire Alex Cora and he's going to be the guy who leads the organization and he
02:17wants his agenda to be the agenda?
02:19Which one is it?
02:21It's B.
02:22And that probably doesn't make him the strongest candidate.
02:26And again, these CBOs now who want things their way.
02:32And Craig Breslow is no different.
02:33And he's going to be the one who wants to be the one.
02:33And he's going to be the one who wants to be the one who wants to be the one.
