they already did

I don't think it's as much of a PR stunt as a benefit to her and her career. Gives her a nice resume piece to apply for other jobs and gives her credibility. Classy move.

Great question. Really interested in the answer.

Edit. LOL In other words, blah blah blah

Are you though? Or are you just looking to poke more holes? I think it's irrelevant to speculate. The point is, in years past... Luciano was untouchable. I think the shine has worn off. His injury-prone history and inability to stay healthy every year is a big red flag for me so yeah if there is an opportunity to improve the club, the Giants should take it. It doesn't matter who we get back because you all will be butt-hurt about it for years regardless

yeah it's certainly nothing to b***h about.

Once the Rangers eliminate the Astros we'll be reaching out to Joe Espada.

He was never untouchable. Thats stupid. It depends on who is offered.

Steve asked you a legit question and you avoided it. Anyone can make a post saying that we should trade gim for a seasoned vet. If the Braves offer Matt Olsen yes i will do that. So give us an example of someone you think would be offered that you would trade him for. Quit avoiding the question and give an answer

Wasn't b***hing about it, just rolling my eyes. Everyone in the league knows she was a PR hire, and this was a PR interview. They're not going to see this on a resume and think she was in serious contention for a ML manager job. The Giants just wanted the headline of being the first to interview a woman for that job, just like "first to coach on field."

If she wants to head down and start managing in the independent league or fall instructional and work her way up the ranks by putting in the time and earning it, thats awesome.

What misogyny? The truth? What has she done to seriously earn an interview to manage a Major League team? Call it a favor, or call it a stunt, but regardless she isn't qualified, and it has nothing to do with gender.

Oh boy

one may say that an assistant coach is more worthy than a catcher who just retired
