Apparently Ron Washington was in the final two when they took Jayce Tingler a couple of seasons ago.

Bruce Bochy says he hasn't been contacted, but expressed interest to come back if it meant managing the Padres.

Word is Brad Ausmus is the leading candidate to be the Mets manager; he finished #2 in 2018 when Mets went with Callaway.

The Mets are such a mess right now. Their GM is on leave until his DUI is resolved in December and they are supposedly hiring a President of Baseball Ops, so hiring a manager before a President is hired and then having the President want his own manager would be the most Mets thing possible

Beane withdrew his name from consideration for the Mets job today.

Jays with interesting but somewhat vague statement today about free agency.

Basically stating that even if they don't re-sign their own FA, they could end up upgrading at those positions.

Would be hard to upgrade from an MVP and Cy Young candidate, but we'll see. Jose Ramirez was a name they were real interested in. Price would be real high, so we'll see. But Ramirez being added to that team even if they lose Semien would be big. He would have 40HR potential in Toronto while playing a position of need.

New report saying Jays payroll could be about 180m if needed. They were at 150m last year which included over 25m in "dead salary". So this would be a significant bump, putting them in the top 10, maybe even borderline top 5.

Bittersweet part of offseason, all these big names would be rumored to be heading to the Jays because agents know they have money.

At least we can be confident they will spend.

They’d been dropping hints for a while, and someone actually posted on the Yankees sub last night that the extension would come today so I was prepared but Boone back on a 3 year extension.
