Maybe it was a show of respect to a long-time valued employee that they think will help with retention. Maybe they actually think she has a skill set that would make her a good candidate for the job, and feedback from players that they'd like playing for her. Maybe they wanted to signal that they're an organization that is welcoming to skilled people, regardless of background or immutable characteristics Maybe they wanted the good publicity that they're getting. Maybe it was a psy-op to get Aubrey Huff to state publicly that he thinks women are too illogical to lead so they can continue not inviting him to team events. Probably it was multiple things. But more importantly: who cares? They don't have a set number of people they're allowed to interview. Setting two hours aside costs them virtually nothing.

A tale as old as time
-
connorp threw out stupid bait
-
IIRC he was the same age she is now when he was made GM of the jays.
-
A 10-year employee applied for a promotion, the team granted her an interview, and will likely hire someone older/more experienced. Why even try to parse through their various motivations, let alone get angry about it?

The old Anthopoulos soft demotion
-
Rehashing your feelings about a trans swimmer in a thread about baseball, on a forum about baseball.
-
Because calling trans people normal isn’t against forum rules.
-
Yeah, this reads like a salary thing. Probably declined her option to negotiate a better deal and the Marlins said no. If so, seems foolish to cut the head off your baseball ops department over a single executive's salary.
-
Her contract expired after 2023. They probably didn't want to pay her.
-
Wow
-
Stephen Vogt is apparently also interviewing. Not surprising at all to see him moving towards a management position.
-
lmao holy f***. Just an absolute clown.
-
Huff is just a bitter, s***** person. Completely dismisses her experience because his feelings are hurt that a woman got a chance to interview for what he considers a man's job.
-
There flat out isn't a defensible reason to criticize the Giants for giving an interview to a presumably high-performing employee of 10 years. This says a lot about Huff, none of it good.

You know I love you Connor

Still shopping Justin Turner and Seth Lugo for picks/prospects/long term red flags
-
My god I love this forum. I also hate this forum.
-
Also, I’m officially calling connorp out for disparaging the intelligence of the forum regulars when he hasn’t won a forum league since the Obama administration
-
If you had framed your idea in the way the FG writer probably did “hey I wonder if… “ it wouldn’t have turned into a drawn out multi-day BJMB brawl. Olerud makes posts like that all the time.
-
Looked like Acuna thinks Arcia is a bit of a dipshit
-
Also the unwarranted surety and confidence with which it was delivered, combined with the general abrasiveness towards anyone pushing back.
-
Hang on to it. There will come a day - maybe not next month or even next year, but eventually - when the forum is overrun by posters who narrativize playoff randomness and fanboy the Orioles. So overrun that the sane forum regulars can’t regain control. When that day comes you’ll login, and see the blue alert indicating that you’ve received a private message. And it will be from the BJMB moderation team letting you know that it’s time for the sheriff to get back in the saddle, because his forum needs him.
