Toronto looking for New President to be Duquette.

The Orioles had 24 hours to poach a coach from Texas. Texas should have told the hypocritical Orioles where to go.

He did not turn it down. He is free to pursue it in 2019. Dan is fine in Baltimore.

I was referring to the extension he signed with the Orioles.

I don't get the impression he is. He has never come out and denied his interest in Toronto. He's fine because he has no choice.

I doubt if his first year on the job as minor league hitting coordinator was on a long-term deal. The Rangers just offered him a 3-year deal to stay. My guess is that his contract was about to expire. Could be why the O's decided to wait after the Rangers denied their first request.

His contract is up after 2018. He can do whatever he wants at that point.

You are best off not to deal with the Orioles.

Exactly. But until then he has no choice. Which makes for possibly a disgruntled employee. Which usually doesn't but their current employers best interests at the top of their priority lists.

If he doesn't do his job to the best of his ability he'll be fired and won't be worthy of a better job. The best way for him to get his dream job is to do a great job with the O's.

You can assume that as you wish. There are thirty of these jobs. Anywhere. Dan is happy with his. Would he take a promotion to a job that there are 7 of? Sure.

A guy named Larry Luchino owns Dan's dream job.

If he is going to Toronto in 3 years (If they still want him) I don't have much faith in a lame duck GM with plans on going to a rival. Just my feelings.

Out of curiosity, how would this differ from the amount of faith you would have in the Orioles' GM if there was no Toronto situation? Seriously, I don't memorize all of your posts, but from what I've noticed, you don't tend to be on board with whatever the Orioles' FO is doing, going back long before the DD to Toronto rumors ever came out. Am I wrong about that?

Lucchino will be 73 years old after the 2018 season. Maybe he'll step aside for Dan.

Or the Orioles step up and do the right thing. I think maybe Buck has more input then Dan likes. Thats just my opinion.

And you can do the same. Saying Dan is fine with his current position is all assumption also.

Actually you are wrong. I've always said I trusted DD plan. Up until the Toronto situation came up..
