This news should satiate us for a millisecond.
Did he bring his garbage can with him to the interview?
Don’t know if anybody cares, but his track record with scouting talent for the Astros was really impeccable. Like genuinely phenomenal stuff. Framber Valdez, José Urquidy, Luis Garcia, Cristian Javier and was huge on trading for Yordan Alvarez from the Dodgers before he even took a step into the majors. Basically the reason why they had a gigantic pool of pitching depth.
Not an ounce of exaggeration; best news of the entire offseason.
Get it done.
