2020 Hot Seat Thread

[mmc 1,241]

Around the league, which GMs and managers do you think will be fired after this weird season.  For me, Billy Eppler, David Bell, and Brodie Van Wagenen are all locks.  Also think Chris Woodward and Dave Roberts (if the Dodgers don't make the NLCS) will be starting to feel the heat as well.

Scioscia is still waiting by the phone.

Cool maybe the Yankees will give him a call.

Definitely Aaron Boone and I would venture to say Dusty Baker too.

Savages!

I think they already picked up Dusty’s 2021 option.

I think Eppler is probably the hottest of the hot seats right now in terms of GMs in the league the Angels have to make the playoffs or at least have a winning record for Eppler to get any sort of extension.

Jon Daniels has been in Texas for a long time. I wonder if that time comes to an end soon.

Also, Roenicke is probably gone after the season.

He's a smart guy and made mostly solid FA decisions.  The Odor extension and some of the guys they were counting on have failed to develop, but I think he's safe.  If ownership is being honest they know that much like the 2010 or so Angels, his team is paying the price for their previous successes and failed bids to get over the top.

Eppler I can see be gone soon, especially after losing games they should win. It is so much crap losing games to Texas when they just beat Houston 4 straight.

You spelled Maddon wrong.
