Yeah I did. He said there was tension between their friendship but it’s not like they were bad or anything according to him. Divish’s main thing has been that Jerry isn’t going to get fired just to keep Scott.
So the confusing thing to me is I think you are correct with Jerry being still the true GM as shown by the photos of him sitting with Boras at a few games. So if we are correct then why are they paying GM money to Hollander. If Jerry is staying then Hollander should be out with Scott. The FO dynamic is so confusing. It seems they have a lot wasteful spending in the FO like Hollander and that Griggs lady.
They just want us to be confused so we won't know who to blame. The best way to respond is to ensure that home attendance drops by about 500,000 next year, and household viewership of games decreases proportionately.
I'm going to assume and God knows I hate defending Scotty since he's a shit manager but my guess is their friendship crapped out do to Jerry trading players away in a playoff race (Graveman for example) and maybe he asked Jerry to get a bat or 2 in this years FA and was denied. Or Jerry didn't defend Scott to upper management when things went south.
I’ve been saying that for awhile. But even with a shitty team the stadium is going to be at least half full. Honestly with the tv thing I think that is going to be irrelevent cause most signs are pointing to Root folding next year. I think all real fans should boycott the M’s and go to Everett and Tacoma next year. I really wish Everett was closer to my house cause that is a super cool place to go with kids. A lot better than the bar they call TMobile.
Defending Scott is the weirdest thing because as much as most of us wanted him fired, Jerry kind of made Scott a sympathetic figure IMO. The way I’ve taken it is Scott was just a defeated person with the team he was given. His two favorite players were traded in the offseason then they got nothing to replace them. He sounded defeated going into spring and Divish insinuated that he knew he wouldn’t be coming back if they didn’t make the playoffs. Not sure what else Scott could do to get the team to hit but it seemed like him and the offense just quit in that last roadtrip he was the manager on.
If Scott had that type of attitude going into spring ball than this team was doomed from the start.
So basically dead man walking. Why prolong the situation if they weren't happy with Scott? Been better off firing him in the offseason and getting someone new.
