Yes, feels like there's a whiff in the air of a pending announcement that after an exhaustive external search, Sam Kennedy now rules all at Fenway with his 4 deputies in baseball ops.They say a lot of things at pressers. I just find it hard to believe they're going to go out and hire a hot name (which is what most of the wishlist candidates brought up here would be) without giving them quite a bit of autonomy. Autonomy that would include structuring and staffing the scouting and development departments with at least some of their own hires.
Just not seeing how attractive the job will be to an up and coming exec if it's just coming in to oversee an already functioning operation without a lot of room to put one's own stamp on things.
Addendum: Just saw that McAdam is expressing similar sentiments.
