What’s the frickin holdup 

My guess is that they are probably looking at someone like Chilli Davis, and he has multiple offers that he's weighing.  Waiting someone out who is in demand isn't a bad thing.

[Docwaukee]

they're waiting for Marcus Thames.  

currently the assistant hitting coach for the Yanks.

yea he's garbage

[Stradling]

He was garbage from 2013-2015, then has been better the last two seasons.  Next year he will be 37, no thank you. 

[John Smith]

"It was not immediately clear whether the rest of manager Joe Maddon’s coaching staff would be returning. Assistant hitting coach Eric Hinske could be a candidate to join the Los Angeles Angels’ staff, said a major league source."

But do remember we have an owner and manager who LOVE guys old and past their prime, granted CC went 14-5 this season, I think if he signed with the Angels he will go 5-0 with a 2.60 ERA, then require career ending TJ surgery and we get stuck with his contract for the three years left on it worth $24M a year because Angels baseball.

This is a stupid outdated narrative. Well done.

Not jumping to conclusions.  You said he was garbage, I said he was garbage, then I stated his age.

[nando714]

Wonder if Kevin Long would be a candidate if he isn’t retained by the Mets

maybe a Nats manager candidate ?

if we sign CC than we should also re-sign bartolo. our fat jokes could use some fresh blood.

[Blarg]

You would need one to balance out the load of the other on the team bus. Wouldn't want a repeat of '92.

I'm not surprised though, there are several managing vacancies which lead to coaching staff disruptions.  It's going to take some time to sort through all of the openings.  Now that I've said that, they will probably announce hiring a new hitting coach tomorrow morning, LOL.

[HaloSpurs]

Hinske it is then

[krAbs]

We should bring in like...eric hinske or something.

[nando714]

We’re getting Kris Bryant

[m0nkey]

That's former rookie of the year and three time world series champion eric hinske, to all you

[Dick B Back]

Was he involved with how well the Cubbies hit this post season?

[Puget Sound Angel]

Color me excited.
