@Ken_Rosenthal: Sources: #RedSox’s Lovullo will indeed interview with #Cubs, most likely early this week.

 

Yes, please.

Can we change the thread title? At least the Girardi part.

Ben Cherington indicated today that no team has requested permission to talk to any of Boston's coaches.

Rosenthal with some potential reasons for that and oh look all the Boston rage came flooding back: http://mlbbuzz.yardbarker.com/blog/mlbbuzz/article/explaining_the_holdup_on_lovullo/14968745?new_post=true

 

The Cubs and Red Sox reached an agreement that they would not hire each other’s employees after Theo Epstein left Boston for Chicago in Oct. 2011. That agreement remains in effect, though its exact length is not known. One published report at the time said it was three years.

 

How the agreement applies to Lovullo is unclear: He did not become a Red Sox employee until Oct. 2012, about a full year after Epstein’s departure. In addition, teams generally allow employees to interview for promotions. For Lovullo, the Cubs’ job certainly would qualify.

 

The Red Sox, however, apparently are going by the letter of the agreement, and balking at the idea of Lovullo interviewing with the Cubs. A resolution, one source said, “will come down to ownership” – meaning, a concession by Red Sox ownership, or perhaps some kind of special arrangement between the clubs.

That is ridculous and I'd be pissed if I were Lovullo.

Lovullo should and probably will put up a stink if Henry won't let him interview for a promotion because he is still butt hurt about Theo leaving.

[dfnowak]

Well that's just fantastic

what other teams are looking for managers? it seems like he won't struggle to find a managerial job if the cubs one doesn't pan out. but that could be different if the cubs are really the only team left with a managerial vacancy

Mariners are the only other one.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

This is so [expletive] ridiculous.

[Sammy Sofa]

So go hire someone else. It's not like he's some kind of vital acquisition.

True, but that doesn't stop it from being complete horse [expletive]

[Irrelevant Dude]

Lovullo not getting the Cubs job most likely hurts Lovullo much more than it hurts the Cubs, so I imagine the Red Sox will have a disgruntled employee on their hands if in fact he doesn't get an interview.

 

On a related note, I was really hoping a manager would be in place before Theo's presentation this weekend, but that isn't looking very likely.

[Clem Fandango]

If Lovullo can't be interviewed, then I think I'm in on the Dave Martinez bandwagon

I have been riding that bandwagon all along, but unfortunately I think the Cubs front office waved at us as we passed by.

Yeah, they've sent me multiple e-mail invites. Best to just delete them all and laugh and laugh and laugh. And then cry.
