This isn't going to end well for the Astros.
The Astros will reportedly hire Brad Ausmus as their next manager, per MLB’s @brianmctaggart.

Here is my bold prediction: Jerry and Justin won't be fired if the Mariners have a winning record and they bring Larson and Stanton money.

This is what I mean by retool not reboot
O que eu faria o DCU com o Jeremy Latcham no comando? Se liga que eu vou soltar alguns dos meus palpites aqui abaixo: O que eu manteria: - Superman de David Corenswet - Supergirl de Milly Alcock - Man of Tomorrow (filme solo) - Mulher Maravilha (filme solo) - Batman (filme solo) O que eu acresentaria/adicionaria: - Batman no estilo Tony Stark no começo do MCU até o Ultimato - Introduzir o Flash e o Caçador de Marte ainda no "Capítulo 1" de forma imediata - Fazer o filme solo da Liga da Justiça como o encerramento "definitivo" do Capítulo 1 deste universo O que eu removeria/descartaria: - Pacificador - Ignorar 100% o canone do falecido DCEU (O Esquadrão Suicida, por exemplo) - Filme do Bane e Exterminador - Filme do Monstro do Pântano - Série do Booster Gold - Série da Waller - Filme do Authority - Filme do Sgt Rock - Projetos que estavam em andamento, mas que foram paralisados por falta de planejamento (Homem-Borracha de Darren Aronosfky, por exemplo) E aí, faltariam mais alguma coisa?

Kirby is traded this week
With the GM meetings starting today, and the expectation that there will be some more incentive to make deals quicker, do you think we see the Mariners make any trades? #Mariners | #TridentsUp

Pedro is right
“I’m pissed. Honestly speaking, I’m pissed.” Red Sox legend Pedro Martinez on the impending lockout, via the Boston Herald’s @MacCerullo: “This time there’s no excuse. ... The fans do not deserve to be mistreated.” Pedro spoke Saturday at his foundation’s 10th annual gala.

This has Puck and the rest of the old heads writen all over it.
Anybody telling you they know Kanzler is a bad hire isn’t anybody you should be listening to. Nobody knows if he’ll be good or bad and to act like you do is intellectually dishonest and screams of having a specific agenda they want to spew. Ignore them and move on.

Do I listen to the former major leaguer or some random dude who thinks we need to hire the big name. I'll go with Bucky. He played at that level
The Mariners just told you exactly what they believe in. They had Joe Espada available — a manager who's won division titles and been to October. The safe, proven name. And they passed. Instead they hired Jason Kanzler, 36 years old, never managed a day in the majors, a guy who's spent the last few years running player development for the Cubs. That's a philosophy hire, folks. Not a headline hire. Here's what I keep coming back to: A week ago, a small-market team with one of the lowest payrolls in baseball won the whole thing by developing their own and sticking to a plan. The Mariners watched that, then went and hired the guy whose entire career IS developing players. That's not a coincidence. That's a bet on how you actually build a winner. I got my one short summer in the big leagues back in '04, and I was the young, unproven guy in that clubhouse once. I'll tell you.. the coaches who believed in development are the ones who got the most out of guys like me. But here's the piece I hope he really brings.. the mentality it takes to win at the highest level. The best managers I've ever been around all held their guys accountable, hard, every single day. They set a standard and didn't let anybody slide, stars included. You can develop all the talent in the world. Accountability is what turns it into winning. Now, I'm not going to sit here and tell you it's a sure thing. It isn't. He's young, he's unproven, and Seattle is a hungry baseball town that's waited a long, long time. If the young guys don't take a step forward, this gets loud fast. But I'll take a clear plan over a big name every time. Do the little things right, trust your development, and let it add up. So here's my question, folks.. gutsy and smart, or too big a gamble with the window open?

Because some people think I am "Jerry", I wasn't going to comment on this. But since I am a guy in Spokane waiting for a plumber, I love this hire. And weird they hired his friend as the hitting coach, but he had no say.
The Mariners will reportedly hire Jason Kanzler as their next manager, sources tell MLB’s @DKramer_.

And this kids kids is why drugs are bad.
The #SFGiants have the system to swing some trades. They need a lefty and Deitmers could very well be one of the best available. Bryan Woo is a Bay Area kid and you’re probably buying low.
