Quiz: Name a current MLB GM or VP of Baseball OPs, or President........

I think Duquette’s job prospects won’t hinge at all on his age.    It’s whether the owners looking for a new GM think he’s done a good job.   Opinions vary all over the lot on that subject.

I have no idea what he wants or is hoping for. 

We know what he did want.  He wanted to be President of am MLB  club.   Or at least to be paid like one.

He might make just as much money, or more, as an assistant on a big market team as he has as GM of the O's.

And he wanted to be president of the Red Sox up until the point when the new regime fired him. But those positions don't just pop up.

Its no coincidence that there have been no GM, VP of OPs or Presidents hired over  60 IMO.   The market in MLB has changed.   Its gotten younger.   Look at the Astros and Dodgers.  They are the current darling of MLB.  Followed by the Cubs.

Dan doesn't profile as an assistant IMO.  He would be more of an adviser to the GM, President or Owner.   And they are not paid like GMs.

John Hart, just fired, was 66 when hired by the Braves.    I just don’t see this as an issue.

I am glad you see it that way.

60 really isn't even that old these days LOL. Some would call that an executive's "prime" actually.

And he was replaced by Alex Anthopoulos who is 40.   What does that tell you?

But I will give you one with Hart.  One out of  30. Got any more?

I think you grossly underestimate how much people in Maryland would be willing to pay per copy.

Exactly zero. There is really nothing to tell in the last five seasons. Or Tony would have told it to you.
