The article says Porter is the Marlins outfield coach........wrong.

 

Why should I trust what else it says ?

It's seems all too likely why Valentine withdrew. He clearly has wanted the job for awhile but now Loria isn't willing to assure him that the team won't be broken up during Valentine's first month at the helm. This was the test of Loria's intentions all along. If Valentine got the job, it would have meant Loria was clearly committed to carrying on the run for the playoffs. If Valentine turned it down, it meant Loria wouldn't commit. Looks to me like now it won't matter who the manager will be because the die is cast for selling off.

all it says is the interview was put on hold... per some "unnamed mlb source"

According to Fisaro and Rodriquez Twitter Accounts, they received a text from Bobby V saying it was "news to me" that he was no longer in the running.

I think you have it right. It all makes sense.

 

So lets see if Beinfest can do any better than the Cabrera trade, because if he doesn't he will be gone and we'll suck for at least 3 more years. New stadium or not, that will screw us for years.

encouraging news

Reports now indicate that Dewayne Staats is being interviewed for the job and is considered the front-runner.
