That’s a bad move, all they’ll get are “what did you know about this??” questionsBloom expects to consider internal candidates.
Just one note since several people has commented on this. Loney's tweet says: "Alex Cora treated me wonderful when I was with the @Dodgers and is known as one of the best guys in the game. In saying that, MAN has always tried to gain an edge in anyway possible, but when rules are broken you must pay the price. What’s done in the dark will come to light "
Then why even have the press conference?Didn't Manfred issue a mandate to not speak about the investigation? I'm surprised people are tearing them to shreds about evading those qs, because I think they're being pretty accountable with regards to what they can speak about. (I think the Apple Watch falls under the investigation umbrella because of their status as repeat offenders).
Do questions about asking Cora if he understood NO CHEATING when they were interviewing him doesn’t fall under the investigation umbrella?Didn't Manfred issue a mandate to not speak about the investigation?

Yes he did issue a mandate not to discuss it. Anyone who is criticizing them for not doing so is just looking for a reason to rip them and frankly is biased.Didn't Manfred issue a mandate to not speak about the investigation?

They really have no choice, since MLB is investigating them. If you are expecting the inside baseball view of a resignation meeting, that's not happening with this crew.These guys should be in politics. The continued evasion is a poor look. Feels like what we will get told as fans is directly related on what they smacked for by MLB.
Because even if that investigation didn't exist, they just fired their manager due to a separate completed investigation (which, side note, Manfred also requested clubs not comment on).Then why even have the press conference?
I think they probably do, because that could be a part of the repeat offender consideration.Do questions about asking Cora if he understood NO CHEATING when they were interviewing him doesn’t fall under the investigation umbrella?
It's like as though they thought they had a choice"we are going to honor the MLB investigation" is being said quite a few times.
They scheduled this PC at 1pm for a reason — not many people will watch, and it will flush through the news cycle in 12 hours.These guys should be in politics. The continued evasion is a poor look. Feels like what we will get told as fans is directly related on what they smacked for by MLB.
Because they just split with a manager who won the WS two seasons ago? And there was some new info. Cora came to them.Then why even have the press conference?
That might be enough to secure Fred WenzHope someone asks about the $208 goal and if that's changed.
he said "fire"?Kennedy: The decision to fire Alex was exclusively to the Houston incident.
The question about the status of the coaching staff was the only good one.By now, the reporters should know that any question they ask about cheating on the part of the Red Sox is not going to be answered, so they might as well start asking questions that will generate some information for us.
I was trying to sum up what he said. I don't think he said fire. The language has consistently been parting of ways.he said "fire"?
What was the response (watching at work)?The question about the status of the coaching staff was the only good one.
That hasn't stopped Patriots reporters for the past 20 years.By now, the reporters should know that any question they ask about cheating on the part of the Red Sox is not going to be answered, so they might as well start asking questions that will generate some information for us.
They have not given a timeline yet.All I care about is their timeline for hiring a new manager. Have they said anything about that?
You'd be killing them if they didn't have a PC.Then why even have the press conference?
Pretty clearly they love the guy. They don't like what he did, I'm sure, but they love the guy personally and think he was a great manager. Unlike some folks I've known, they apparently have the ability to look at the whole person, and not decide a guy is a totally bad dude for these sins.When do they erect the statue to Saint Alex?
The tone of this conference is just off. YMMV.
Remember what kind of salaries we're talking about. Those who can, do. Those who can't write, sportswrite.Guys, stop asking them how embarrassing this is. It's a dumb question, and it generates zero information.
Can't do that when Cokie is a big sponsor!Would it kill these guys to invest in water bottles?
Likely to have several internal candidates for the managerial role.What was the response (watching at work)?
Are you there asking questions?I don't like how Chaim says "organization" instead of "Red Sox"
