Yeah I don't buy that.

I'll accept Craig Counsel or someone elite wouldn't want this job. 

There are 30 MLB managers and a whole lot more who wish they were managing. 

Nevin would have signed any extension we offered. Buck has publicly campaigned. 

Our franchise is a mess, but that's overly hyperbolic for click bait.

I think it's pretty safe to say it's going to be Buck and they will probably announce an Extension with Perry at the same time 

I think it’ll probably be Buck too, but I don’t see Arte extending Perry.

I also wouldn’t be surprised if Perry has a club option for 2025 that we don’t know about.

We didn’t know Nevin had a 2024 club option until they announced that they declined it.

I believe that Showalter could be a candidate but I don't believe all the other stuff about Torii Hunter, Darin Erstad, Tim Salmon, Dino Ebel etc.

The Angels met with Torii Hunter in Texas yesterday. 

Let's see where it goes from there. I'll post something if I hear it from my source.

Thanks for the update!

Glad someone was able to get some sort of info.

I like Tori hope he gets a chance here

If they met with Tori and not Benji, despite him being there for Spanish language broadcasts, I’ll be so annoyed.

Same del taco?

Why would they meet in Texas rather than have Tori come to Anaheim so they could wine and dine?

Was Arte too cheap to spring for a ticket and dinner?

Maybe Tori had prior Obligations in Texas

Dude seriously this kind of question and speculation is just so stupid.

You can also easily argue that going to Texas shows a higher level of respect rather than expecting Hunter to do the traveling. “No relax, we will come to you.”

And I have some crazy news for you.  They have wine and restaurants in Texas.

How do we know they didn't wine and dine in Texas. He lives there anyway.

The Angels flying to Texas where Torii lives is the exact opposite of “being too cheap to spring for a ticket and dinner.”

But I don’t expect much from you.

Maybe Angels wanted to go to the victory parade

Maybe meeting Will Smith after the parade.

I like them both. I'm not sure if they met with Benji Gil, but I'm guessing they have or will.

Most teams that are proud of their organizations would fly someone in to impress them by showcasing the facilites and meeting the key stakeholders such as their 2023 MVP......Oh wait.....

Yes because torii has never seen angel stadium. 

[OregonLAA]

I would love for it to be Hunter. Experience doesn’t matter as long as Arte is around anyway. I think Hunter would have lit up Rendon for how he acted

And Hunter played for two great coaches. Tom Kelly and Mike Sciocsia. Both were big on fundamentals, playing smart baseball, and holding players accountable.  Would definitely choose him and take a chance rather than hiring a retread.
