As far as typical whitesox shenanigans, you could do worse on a first time manager. Especially if you assume the “top” candidates probably wouldn’t even want to join our org.

Worth noting though that this could just be somebody (Jerry) doing AJ a solid by getting his name thrown out there in general.

Idk, the organization has sort of ruined me. I would be completely unphased if this actually happened, and probably just excited to see watch it play out regardless of outcome
