September 23, 20178 yr And he asked Samson to do the firing so that he didn't have to do it when he took over. And you all thought Jeffrey Loria was the biggest dick on earth. Get ready for the Jeter Era.
September 23, 20178 yr Author I get it that the new owner wants to start fresh but this is a bad first step. Firing the team president and then making him go fire the only 4 "legends" that work for the team. Mind you these 4 men don't even really do anything! They were "special assistants." McKeon himself has admitted they don't even have real duties they're just paid to hang around and assist and give advice and be mentors and leaders to the team and to the front office as well. What harm would their have been in keeping these guys? It would have been nice to show some respect for them. Mind you the kicker is Jeter wants to KEEP MIKE HILL... possibly permanently not just in transition. So fire the 4 guys who actually do nothing and keep the one guy who is probably the most responsible for this shit storm of an organization???????
September 23, 20178 yr Everything I've read about Jeter during this process has not surprised me. He is a very calculated person. I wish they had kept McKeon onboard though. He was always around Spring Training and the man is 87.
September 23, 20178 yr Man, this Hit hard. He better be working some fucking magic when he takes over because he seems to be wanting to one up Loria on the asshole scale.
September 23, 20178 yr He'll probably replace Billy the Marlin with himself. He'll probably get rid of Billy, no mascots in the Bronx.
September 23, 20178 yr He'll probably replace Billy the Marlin with himself. Awesome a giant douchebag as the mascot
September 23, 20178 yr Author Evil Darth Vader of an owner reigns over the Marlins galaxy and everyone is dying for him to leave... the day comes and the next guy starts off just as shitty. That's So Marlins.
September 23, 20178 yr Don't really care that they're gone, but I don't understand why Mike Hill stays if the intention is to clean house. Also, if the reports are true, it makes Jeter look like quite the coward.
September 23, 20178 yr Also, if the reports are true, it makes Jeter look like quite the coward. There is a quote from Dawson that confirms Samson gave him the news. Jeter IS a coward.
September 23, 20178 yr He’s gonna put tino, Bernie and who knows who else in those advisor roles. don't forget Alex in charge of the team meds
September 23, 20178 yr Author I'd like to point out that it's not like I think these four guys will be missed. I'm admitting they didn't do much. But that's not the point here. This was a cowardly and classless move. A very Loria move I wanna say but at the same time if Loria is anything good he's loyal to his people and this isn't that. Also, as much as we don't love Samson around here what a slap in the face to have him do this after confirming to him that he also won't be back next year. Jeez.
September 23, 20178 yr Author He’s gonna put tino, Bernie and who knows who else in those advisor roles. I don't want this team to become the cheap version of the Yankees anymore than it already was. Conine McKeon Dawson and Perez didn't have to go. If anything I'd have guessed they were the 4 who were most likely to be kept since they're more symbolic than anything. This is also not gonna sit well with the players. Dumb move.
September 23, 20178 yr Not the end of the world regarding any on field presence these guys made. But sure as hell bad PR for Jeter if it's true. Probably his first big mistake in his whole career (playing and post so far). For a guy who's usually so calculated in everything he does, this sounds anything but.
