Could Buck end up managing the Nats?

[Frobby]

I wonder about this.    Buck’s contract is up, he may not be asked or want to come back, and there seems to be a lot of grumbling about Dave Martinez in Washington.   Mike Rizzo has vacillated between hiring very experienced managers and untested ones (Davey Johnson - Matt Williams - Dusty Baker - Dave Martinez).     

Martinez has a three year contract and Buck is pretty expensive, so I think this scenario is unlikely, but I could see it.    I wonder how Max Scherzer’s TTTP is?

Interesting. Certainly a dark horse, but could be a fit. 

 

And did Corn write that last line? I’m being facetious, but it’s funny.

I don't care. Just so long as he is not back as manager of the O's. Buck has done some good things for the O's. But it's time for him to go. IMO

I could definitely see this.. They could do a lot worse than Buck. He is good for 3-4 years before he wears out his welcome. 3-4 years may be all they need to get over the top. Also He would probably love going there and succeeding and sticking it to us.

Why would Buck want to "stick it" to Baltimore?  He is in his 9th season here, versus 11 years combined in his last 3 jobs.

I think he either gets a front office job here or he retires.

Is Buck a Rizzo fan?

He doesn't seem to be happy with the direction we are taking and it doesn't look like we will be renewing his contract. It looks like he lost the battle of control with DD so there is that..

I think if Buck is fired, he goes back to television. 

He may wait for that "perfect" managerial opening again, or continuing doing TV, which he is great at it.

He is 62. At the end of the day, he may just want to be done managing.

We should trade managers.   How cool would that be.   Gives Buck a chance with a more veteran team.  Gives Martinez a chance with a  younger team.
