2018-19 Manager Shuffle

[sweetpeteman]

Scioscia is the first to go, announcing that he is stepping down as manager of the Angels after 19 seasons, which is an amazingly long time for being a manager.

 

Other teams that are or may be making changes (besides the Cubs):

 

Toronto - already fired Gibbons

Cincinnati - hasn't made a decision on Riggleman yet

Baltimore - Showalter probably gone

Texas - Banister out

 

 

That's probably it baring anything shocking.

 

 

Edit: And the shocking happened:

 

Minnesota - Molitor fired

Riggleman is a good manager. He always gets stuck managing shitty teams.

Scioscia had said previously he wasn't gonna step down, which makes me think the Angels said "We're gonna let you go, but we'll let you resign to save face if you want."

I had no idea that Gibbons had managed Toronto for 11 (non-consecutive) seasons.

I'm just gonna assume you're saying that the Cubs should hire Michael Schur as their manager, which is a fantastic idea.

Well there's the shocking one, I guess.

Met him at Phillies Spring Training this year. As short as I expected but was nice enough to say hello and sign an autograph for me.
