scioscia's availability

[YouthofToday]

I’d be surprised if he lands another MLB managerial gig. He doesn’t fit the type FOs want to hire now. At all.

It’s all good.  They say it is very important to have hobbies going into retirement. 

Surfing AngelsWin probably doesn't qualify.....

[Hubs]

His experience will lead him to take a job in 2020, after sitting out a year in 2019.

Dodgers or Padres probably. He likes SoCal. Phillies maybe, but I doubt it.

I seem to remember reading on Angelswin that if Mike Scioscia became available, that he would be picked up in a flash. I haven't seen his name attached to any team looking for a manager yet. Am i missing something?

Can you wait until the WS is over before making dumbshit comments?

[Broad Street]

I have a feeling he'll pull a Ron Gardenhire. Sit out for a little bit and then get back into it.

[Docwaukee]

it's probably not about the money but it's unlikely that a team would pay him the 6 m he made this year.  In fact, there are only 4 or 5 managers now that make over 2mil per season.  So he'd have to take a pretty drastic pay cut and with the new paradigm, his influence might not be what he'd like it.  

I agree that he'll likely sit out for a bit and eventually end up in the dugout again.

Breaking news...

Scioscia to serve as Scott Servais' bench coach in Seattle.

It’s no secret that Scioscia still loves the Dodgers 

Of course he would still love the Dodgers.  Basically his entire playing career was there and he won a WS with them.  He loves the Angels too.  Sosh doesn't have to adhere to the baseball fanboy rules that we all do.

It's going to come back around eventually, but I agree, he doesn't really fit what anyone's looking for as of now. 

I hate mentioning it because it's obvious, but should the Dodgers part with Roberts, the Padres with...Green?, or the Phillies with Kapler while they're still in a window of contention, Sosh seems like a good contender for any of those. 

[Stradling]

The Phillies would also have to part ways with Klentak or at least I assume that would be the case. 

[Biergott]

How about he signs as a replacement for Gubi.  Then we can listen to Doyer stories instead of Royals stories, since he's been a super double secret undercover Doyer plant all these years, right?

Scioscia will first be commentator then a front office magoo before becoming a manager again.  I know no one in the business and nothing about the business but I read AWin and that counts for something.

if the Phillies retain Kapler, he may have to do his managing from prison.

If the Dodgers choke again Sven will be wearing Dodger Blue.

Scioscia can probably pick his job.  Plus he might want to take a year off.

[Blarg]

Girardi took a year off. Don't hear teams clamoring for him and the Angels never offered an interview. 

[GrittyVeterans]

The Dodgers are not parting with Roberts. He's not great, but he has now made it to two consecutive World Series. I don't see Scioscia going there at all

[JarsOfClay]

No one wants Scioscia, he's a fossil. He still thinks it's the 1980's and he's the most predictable manager in baseball.

I can see him managing a team like the Orioles, or any other team that's likely to lose 130 games and wont have many people wanting the job, but that's about it.

Cincinnati and Texas interviewed him this year, but he personally decided to pull himself out of the Cincinnati interviews.  Cincinnati subsequently hired Bell instead on a three year contract.

[disarcina]

I could see Arizona or San Diego in his future.
