Don't forget the ownership link, though. If they think WJ can get them where they want to go, that ownership group- that used to work directly with him- will give him an extended budget. I'd think, anyway.ghostrunner wrote:I don't see how Walt fits in Cincy. If anything, they'd be even less prone to spend money and more dependent on the farm system, which hasn't been Walt's strength.

Cripes, the Deacon might leave too. If I was worried about the offseason before, I'm panicked now.

I thought about CIN, but it seems they're pretty happy with the results Pete M. was able to produce in such a short time. (I'm obviously referring to TLR heading there in some sort of "package deal" scenario.)
John McLaren is the SEA manager's name, I believe.
While I'm bummed, as I feel Walt is a good man, maybe he wasn't the right guy for a rebuilding process.
Anyone know Terry Ryan's number? Er, wait, we already had that discussion.

This really, really sucks.
Not what I had in mind with my "offseason will be interesting" thoughts the other day. More of a fear of what would happen.

The rumor up in Chicago is that John Canning (projected as the next Cubs owner) is already talking to Walt about replacing Hendry after he buys the Cubs.
