Tyler StaffordHOST
And what could we possibly? And then this is how I find out that the Astros have a new general manager who is not named Matt Klein.
Tyler StaffordHOST
There's a different fella.
Tyler StaffordHOST
What happened, Chandler? Who's the GM?
Chandler RomeHOST
It's always an interesting thing when you announce the biggest hire of your baseball operations department at 7.17 p.m. on a Friday night the day before a holiday.
Chandler RomeHOST
But that's what the Ashers did.
Chandler RomeHOST
His name is Randy Flores.
Chandler RomeHOST
If you are a loyal athletic subscriber, you will know that in one of the first stories I wrote about the GM search, about a week and a half, two weeks ago.
Chandler RomeHOST
He was among the first names that I listed as candidates that had drawn interest, but never really had talked much about him after that.
Chandler RomeHOST
Qualifying offers are coming soon.
Chandler RomeHOST
The GM meetings start next week.
Chandler RomeHOST
But the Astros have more important things to take care of, Tyler.
Chandler RomeHOST
They made a couple option decisions today, but I don't think that is what is at the forefront of everyone's mind.
Tyler StaffordHOST
Let's get to the good stuff here.
Tyler StaffordHOST
Tell me about Matt Klein.
Tyler StaffordHOST
Is he the GM of the Astros now? What's going on?
Chandler RomeHOST
I think the Asher's would like him to be their GM.
MichaelAUDIENCE
Just wanted to call in, though.
MichaelAUDIENCE
I think another point as a Yankee fan, watching the GM and the owner of the Brewers celebrate last night, you know, part of me wonders, like, Can I even stomach seeing Cashman doing that? I mean, of course I'd love to see it.
MichaelAUDIENCE
But the 17 years, year over year over year, them not getting there and feel like he just wants to do it the Brian Cashman way when we just see it doesn't work.
MichaelAUDIENCE
Just seeing that last night reminded me of that.
CarlosAUDIENCE
Um, second point I wanted to make was about Brian Cashman.
CarlosAUDIENCE
Now I do think Brian Cashman is good.
CarlosAUDIENCE
as a GM, but I do think he is not good as far as how he deals with players.
CarlosAUDIENCE
There's plenty of examples of times that Brian Cashman, he does this thing where he almost publicly embarrasses players in public in a way.
Anthony DiNardoHOST
I'll just screw myself.
TylerHOST
But referring to Neil's article and our next topic here about essentially If we rewind the tape seven years, there was another name in the mix of future Pirates GM, and the name was Matt Arnold, who just so happens to be the GM of the team about to clinch the World Series.
TylerHOST
Would he have taken it? I don't know.
TylerHOST
I don't think any of us can answer that.
Anthony DiNardoHOST
Now, again, you could argue, why was he fired? Of course.
Anthony DiNardoHOST
But, you know, not too many guys are being poached.
Anthony DiNardoHOST
The, the guy who might've been a good GM, if they went a different route, uh, who ended up as assistant GM in Washington that happened, he was poached.
Anthony DiNardoHOST
They didn't retain him.
Robert MurrayHOST
There might be some penny pinching there as far as the as the payroll goes, but it's still like, it's a job that people are going to want here too, especially with a guy like Jordan Alvarez on the roster.
Robert MurrayHOST
So again, I still, we're, we're also, we're, we're, they're interviewing guys for the GM job, but they're also interviewing guys now for the assistant GM job.
Robert MurrayHOST
Is it Ozzo Campo who is formerly in that front office was just with the Marlins interviewed for the assistant GM job.
Robert MurrayHOST
So I still, for the life of me, do not understand why they're trying to build this front office now without a leader.
Robert MurrayHOST
It makes little sense, makes no sense, honestly.
Nick SelbeGUEST
To Robert's point, I'm having a hard time trying to interpret what's the vision and what's the overarching plan here.
Nick SelbeGUEST
Matt Klein obviously is the hot name.
Nick SelbeGUEST
And when you're in that position, you're the top AGM who can kind of have your choice, can be a little more selective.
Gary SteinCORRESPONDENT
Had the Brewers won last night, it would have given them a nine-game postseason winning streak, which would have been the longest in MLB history.
Gary SteinCORRESPONDENT
Meanwhile, how will the relationship work? Talking about the divvying up of duties between O's president of baseball operations, Mike Elias, and his new GM, Jared Banner.
Mike EliasSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Jared will take over everything to do with our internal players, our internal coaches, player development, performance, health care.
Mike EliasSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
All of that is going to fall under his umbrella.
27 MINS LATER
Azhar Abdur-RahimSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Our main focus has been truly to wrapping our arms around these young men because it didn't just really start a week ago.
Azhar Abdur-RahimSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
They've heard rumblings and they deal with so much outside entities, man, that sometimes give them information that they may not need.
Gary SteinCORRESPONDENT
Meanwhile, O's president of baseball operations, Mike Elias, introducing his new GM yesterday at the warehouse, talking about 41-year-old Jared Banner, a front office veteran of 18 seasons now.
Jared BannerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Banner on what he brings to the organization.
Eric HuysmanHOST
Well, at least Brett tomorrow will be the Locked on Rays podcast, but we are talking Astros baseball all off season.
Eric HuysmanHOST
And right now we're focusing a lot on the GM search because this is a big deal for the Astros because they hope to have a new general manager in place before the winter meetings, which start the November 9th, which is not that far away.
Eric HuysmanHOST
So the Astros have to, I get the ball moving if they want to have somebody in place.
Eric HuysmanHOST
And so Bob Nightingale, I know that we take what he says with a grain of salt around here, but he does have an interesting name that he threw out there today.
Eric HuysmanHOST
So Brett Loperfito, It was very early this morning.
Eric HuysmanHOST
I almost did a short on my way out to work, but I didn't get a chance to do it.
Eric HuysmanHOST
But Bob Nightingale reported that Mike Rizzo, former GM of the Washington Nationals, yes, the Washington Nationals that beat the Astros in the World Series that year, he's no longer a GM right now.
Eric HuysmanHOST
He's currently looking for a job, and he's been telling, reportedly, Telling friends, all his friends, hey, you know what? Ever since Dana Brown has been fired, I want to work for the Astros.
Ben BrustHOST
You said Bud Selig?
WillUNKNOWN
Who was the GM at that time? It wasn't Matt Arnold, was it?
Ben BrustHOST
The GM was David Stearns.
WillUNKNOWN
David Stearns.
WillUNKNOWN
Sorry, that's who I meant.
