They can't call to seek permission until their employer is out of the playoffs.
Sorry if I'm incorrect...But I thought that he couldnt be interviewed. A casual call to a GM to say they want to interview _________ after the teams playoff run...Likely happens all the time.

I'm pretty sure you can't even call to ask like that because it's the internal distraction that MLB wants to avoid. I mean it could mess with a team and their planning if say it's game 7 of the WS and the other team gets 10 teams to call and tell them, I want to interview your GM, I want to interview your coach, I want to interview your scouting director. That would almost be like prank calling a SP 15 times overnight the night before he has to pitch a big game in the morning.

I am sure through back channels, you can find out if the guy is interested.

You have also known for a while that AM was likely going to be gone, so you could have found out before the playoffs started.

Been told that LaCava was not in Baltimore on Friday at all. Been told that the interviews are not held at the warehouse. Been told that TLC has NOT been offered the job yet, but that that should occur shortly and then an announcement would be forth coming. That is all. This person is impecable. Checked this info twice for me.

This is officially what I believe to be factual.

My fingers are crossed. I have no trust in this organization, and if they're getting the cold shoulder from LaCava, this is exactly the type of thing I might want to leak to change the public narrative. Hopefully this purgatory ends today or tomorrow.

    • I don’t think he’s trading those guys for a RP even if he’s controlled. I could see them adding a legit bat or a SP that’s controllable. 
    • 2022 Aberdeen - .221/.298/421.    31.8% K rate  7.7% BB rate 2023 Bowie - .251/.320/.456.         24.9% K rate  8.3% BB rate 2024 Norfolk - .296/.396/.486.       19.3% K rate  12.2% BB rate  
    • I’m going to preface this by saying (1) I expect to get crushed for bringing it up and (2) it shouldn’t impact trade deadline strategy.     I think Felix is going to pitch in the playoffs. There is nothing I have to go on other than gut feeling, in fact Elias has clearly stated otherwise. But I think that is what he is shooting for. I bring it up only on the premise of having a guy in the bullpen who could miss bats.  They could have him be a situational guy and leave Kimbrel where he is for this season. 
    • For Norfolk, Cook has started 29 games at 1B with a .996 fpct. and 5 games each at LF, CF, RF.   He started one game at 3B and made an error and at lower levels played a decent amount of 2B.   I think he’s probably an emergency/last resort guy at 2B/3B and @Tony-OH seems skeptical of his outfield defense in general.  Saying all that, with a LH heavy hitting OF he has a decent shot as soon as next year, especially if Norby gets moved.  Norby, with the ability to play LF/RF/2B would probably be his chief competitor for a backup role.  Also depends on what they do with Hays.
    • Your definition of what we need and @Bemorewins definiton of what we need may be different.    Getting a #3 starter he feels confident as a game #3 starter in the playoffs.   Who, in his mind, is that pitcher?   Fedde will not require one of those guys.  Crochet might.
    • We do not have to give up Holliday, Basallo, or Mayo to get what we need.
    • So you think Elias will give up one of the top 3 prospects to get upgrades?
