I'm not sure what Buck wants to do with his life next, but a clean break from the Orioles seems like the best outcome for both parties, especially if Duquette returns as is speculated. I suppose someone should start the Buck Showalter Appreciation thread.

The end of an era.

Love me some Buck, but excited for a new younger manager with a different style to take over.  If we get another mid 50's or higher manager in here though, I won't be impressed.

Dan Connolly said he is flying out to Texas today. I assume no final press conference?

Ridiculous if news doesn't follow that Duquette is out as well.

End of an era. Buck Showalter brought integrity back to this organization. I'm going to miss him.

You aren’t going to be happy.

Once again, the local beat get scooped and have to check on the story.

[Rene88]

Thank you Buck.

 

Get ready for 3 years of maximum suckage. It’s the right thing to do but not going to be enjoyable to watch. Just focus on how good the Astros are (assuming we beef up scouting, Fire Brady & get involved internationally).

I already resigned myself to the most likely scenario that Duquette is back. Still sucks.

Kenny has moles in warehouse and Roch obviously has connections. Dan C has been good lately with some scoops.

Would Buck take a managing  job with the Angel's or Twins? Boswell keeps pushing Buck for the Nationals job but dont see that happening. 

[Moose Milligan]

Hey @TonySoprano is this Rosenthal dumping on the Orioles with his axe to grind or what?

Sorry, couldn't resist

Is there a reason why the Orioles don't tip their own reporters first?

[eddie83]

There was no role for Buck to stay. He wasn’t going to take some ceremonial role and if the organization wants to move forward it needs less voices not more.
