Roch: Showalter met with an ownership representative and should already know his fate.

Girardi turned them down before and I'm sure he'd turn them down again.  Folks that know they can get a more attractive job.

Fair enough but in such a small market for these particular jobs,   A position here would almost always be at least a consideration. Even for Giradi.

Girardi actually agreed to take the job as long as his contract included a clause that he could leave is offered the Cubs or Yankees job. The O's declined to include that clause.

Did not know that.

Sure, I wasn't eliminating much of the pool.

They deserve nothing.

They got paid for their services.

They signed contracts and those contracts have expired.

From Roch's blog this morning. AJ calls it the end of an era. Apparently, the FO isn't leaving him to twist in the wind. Good.

So back to this.

Was Crasnick wrong or did the O's talk to Buck after the tweet?

From a different perspective,.

They both gave all they had. Ownership had their backs through most of this and followed their hopes and requests to the detriment of the team that exists today.

It does not matter that they were not champions of the field or process. Today, they both stand as Baltimore immortals.

And deserve all of that glory.

Roch didn't say when they talked to him. Could have been weeks ago or last night. My guess is that it was recently, and that's why Roch interviewed Adam about Buck.

I wish the best to Buck and Adam. It's been a fun ride. Now it's time to move on and find the next great Orioles.

I read that this morning and get very annoyed. I hate this franchise sometimes.

I hope Buck doesn't leave. 

 

Who in their right mind would come here to manage ?

Sorry but I hope he is gone. By DD and Brady too.

Dempsey would be the worst.

The team has the 5th most loses of all time. Not sure why you would want to retain someone who helped bring you that.

You are such a bore. They entertained the fans for many years.  A send -off from the team is a small effort and they deserve as much.
