Pretty funny that Rogers can put a % likelihood on what an
unknown person is likely to want in a new manager. Maybe he can
first tell us who the new GM is going to be.

Chicago White Sox vice president and assistant general manager
Rick Hahn has a clause in his contract that allows him to
interview with a handful of team for a GM position, and the
Chicago Cubs are on that list, a major league source told
ESPNChicago.com's Bruce Levine

This is the guy who gave us the great trade evaluation system of
identifying which team acquired more major leaguers...
Mariners trade us King Felix, and we send them Grabow and Hill,
the Mariners win the trade! They get two major league players,
we only get one. Stinking ripoff.

Hard to take seriously a person who is predicting the actions of
someone he does not even know.

Buster Olney speculates about Theo Epstein and others and, more
generally, about Cubs GM search:
it's fairly apparent that the Cubs will have an opportunity to
hire a big name for their next general manager, if they so
choose. Executives say privately that they view the Cubs' job as
an opportunity with enormous potential, under Tom Ricketts,
because it's evident he is devoted to the idea of turning the
team -- the ballpark and the baseball operations -- into
something great, as John Henry's group did when it took over the
Boston Red Sox. The Cubs have the potential to be to the NL
Central what the New York Yankees and the Red Sox have been to
the AL East, one rival executive explained this
week.......Whoever gets the Cubs' job, though, is almost
certainly going to be a heavyweight. "It seems like it's more a
matter of who they want, as opposed to who would agree to go
there," one high-ranked executive said.

One thought if we do hire away someone like Friedman, Beane,
Epstein, or Cashman, there's probably a good chance we'd have to
give up compensation to their current employers.
Anybody like the idea of giving up say Brett Jackson for Andrew
Friedman? Or Andrew Cashner?

I might give up Jackson for Kinky Friedman, but not Andrew.
