Gardenhire and Avila Retired!
So we have to hire a new Assistant GM and Manager.
I have gone through the options and I have settled on:
Gabe Kapler as the new Manager - Even though his "personality & style" and his "managing attributes" don't directly lineup with my personal preferences.
I do appreciate how he will allow me to dictate all of the game strategy.
His "Bad Relationship" with a couple of our good young pitchers does worry me a little, but I think it is worth the risk.
Chaim Bloom as the new Assistant GM - I just really like his overall profile and think he is going to be a very good GM in MLB.
Below is a snapshot of each person.
*Both have been offered contracts and we will wait for their response.
