I was wondering if he survived even with the ALCS birth.
Wouldn't be shocked to see him end up with the White Sox either this year or next.Wabs said:
He probably was asking for more than the Yankees are willing to pay a manager. Nats will probably hire him...

Maybe they were going to fire him next year but since they are "a year ahead of schedule" they decided to go ahead and can him.

Who the hell are they looking at right now then to fill his spot?

If teams are moving that way because of the Astros, I think that's folly. The Astros payroll isn't low because they used analytics to get more from less and thereby paid less. The Astros payroll is low because they made a hardcore commitment to being terrible for years on end and stockpiled young talent. Guys like Altuve, Correa, Springer, Keuchel and McCullers would be expensive by Yankee standards if they hit the open market today. I'm not knocking the Astros with this, but I don't think analytics are the reason for the Astros success.

I think it's probably pretty meaningful even if your GM isn't picking players based on MIT-Stanford level analytics.
Use whatever you have in the best way possible.
And don't forget, Houston took millions of dollars from Springer by keeping him in the minors just so he wouldn't reach free agency sooner. I doubt Springer has forgotten this, and will be reminding management of it frequently. I wouldn't expect him to take a hometown discount.Quote:

I think everyone knows the Astros have a core of young players who are cheap. I think everyone knows the Astros are not keeping all of them once they come up for free agency.Lucky #007 said:
Say what you will but that's what the team was built on. It's not like you found some no name veterans either. Your core, producing players are in place on the cheap which is the entire reason your payroll is low. If those five are being paid market value, your payroll explodes. I'm not poking at the merits of the method, but it absolutely was the method and it has you in the World Series so...

The biggest question for me is Dallas, Jose, and Carlos. I think you can only keep two of those in my opinion. Who is the odd man out?
