[The Athletic] D-Backs’ Amiel Sawdaye, Guardians’ Matt Forman are finalists for Rockies GM
Matt Forman definitely will be the first MLB GM with a name closest to a diabetes medication.
Steve Jardiance is an up and coming analyst with the Rays
Juan Gialpi is working in Mets amateur scouting.
Those are….actually good candidates?
Yes, I thought they would hire Dayton Moore and hoop on his anti porn training
It’s kinda crazy that our front office staff keeps getting poached despite our only having made the playoffs twice under Hazen. Things are definitely well run but we haven’t had that much success
I can’t find the original post, but I know Eno Sarris has posted and talked on podcasts about how a lot of hungry MLB executive types see Colorado as a tempting challenge. The drawbacks of Coors are so obvious and so impactful there’s a sense of like “if you can build a winner in Colorado you’re a fucking genius.” Who knows how true it is but I am interested to see it seems to be kind of playing that way.
I thought we gave Sawdaye a big raise so he wouldn’t leave ☹️
Armiel Sawdaye as a finalist!!!???
Wow things really are changing at Coors. No way Monfort would ever have greenlit that one in the past.
I’m a bit sad that it isn’t going to be Click but I’m still fine with these candidates being actually real ones
Take PERRY MINASIAN. Please
I personally hadn’t heard of Matt Forman, but the Guards FO really seems to know how to do a lot with a little. That approach may be just what Colorado needs.
Progress!
Those actually sound like good candidates. I don’t know anything about Forman, but at least the Rockies are seeking talent from competent organizations.
Good luck to whoever takes up that role
Isn’t it pretty moot who the GM is if ownership is still going to run the org like they have for for the past 20 years? 5 winning seasons in 20 years… In a city that’s seen greatness from every other local pro sports team in that time.
