Either him, EY, or Wash.

By that time Freeman will be retiring and he will replace Weiss.

Or literally any of the other 10+ candidates discussed with the exception of DeRo. I’d rather have Eric Young but I suspect he will be back as a bench coach or third base.

Even if the Dodgers swooped in and made an astronomical offer to Lehmann to be the manager in waiting for when Roberts decides he’s done, it doesn’t excuse not going with Lombard or even Ross. If we were going old dude, I would have offered it to Bob Melvin.

I could go either way. A lot thought that Snit was probably told, “we love you but you can’t come back” and that was likely not the case.

Bowman had some sort of weird tweet that made it seemed like someone had tipped him off it was going to be an internal hire earlier today.

We can only hope against hope that he has taken the last month to have some serious talks with Weiss about adapting. The makeup of the staff will be the tale of the tape.

Yes Shanks is on board with it.

It’s also hilarious that Passan had it before the beat guys and the team announcement (I think). Edit: nvm looks like he didn’t report it before the announcement

It’s actually pretty remarkable that the Braves have managed to make a wholly less inspiring hire than the Falcons, who are among the biggest jokes in major professional sports. This is right on par in being comically bad like the Falcons having a shot at the likes of Mike Vrabel, Ben Johnson...

Maybe Lehmann turned us down. I suspect that AA is GM in name only.

That reeks of Terry McGuirk

My God man.

I would like to have Bummer on the team and be properly utilized. He also costs a good bit of money but other teams might think he’s worth it. If AA is going to be on a budget with a whole bunch of needs, he might want to shed the salary but there should be a suitor out there. It’s not an...

Not about not liking him. More about they have a lot of needs to fill and might could find a realistic trade partner.

The photo I saw, he was the same distance.

I would argue he was limited in the lead and secondary he could get because the third baseman was pretty close to the bag. If dude hits a line drive and he's halfwayish down the line, it's a double play, inning over. It was the hitter's job to hit the ball to the outfield and he couldn't do it.

I see Bummer being traded.

With Thursday being the deadline on some options, you’d have to think they would want him in the room as soon as possible to at least have a little input.

He’s probably flying to Atlanta today for final interview
