Levine

[Brandon]

Did anyone see that Levine interviewed for the job in Boston?  And that Falvey turned down the request to interview for the position?

I understand the interest from Boston but they would have to blow me away to make that switch.  Boston is a 5 year rebuild in a 2 year town.  Hopefully Ng is interested.

I mean I posted about it twice....

Levine is a pretty good fit in Boston as the tandem of him and Falvey don't overvalue their prospects and are willing to make bold deals to improve the big league club, particularly starting pitching.  Sox have suffered from lack of starting pitching, cautious deal-making  and prospect hoarding.  Cora called out Bloom this summer on that, and he is a proven manager with the right aggressive minded baseball operations - if Levine takes the job, he knows he has a manager who can win with the right roster.   Some think Sox are a  multi-year rebuild, but deals like Gray & Lopez, a free agent starter and their back in the hunt.  And with  New Englander Sam Fuld and others declining an interview, Levine should be able to get a commitment from ownership to spend a good chunk of their $80 million cap space giving the new GM plenty to work with.   If Levine pulls a Billy Bean and declines, it could be a bad sign for Sox fans.
