    As his former manager Maddon will certainly have an opinion on Carl Crawford and could be great for his career moving forward.

    No ldea. 80-90% of teams aren't just gonna fire their manager to hire him (for financial reasons).

    This could be more about him not liking the new organization in Tampa and not the opening in LA.

    Maddon is probably a major plus in working with younger players and could be instrumental in working with Puig, Pedersen and a few others. May be a bullpen manager upgrade over DBB. Lots of intrigue coming.

    No argument, just raising a possibility outside the box. However I read an article that 80% of teams might be willing to fire their manager to hire him.

    No I mean 80% of other teams would now fire their managers if they could hire Maddon. He wants to explore opportunities and the quote was that about 80% of teams would fire their current manager to give him that opportunity

    I don't buy that, many teams couldn't afford to eat the salary for firing their manager AND make Maddon the highest paid manager in baseball at over $5M annually.

    Wow, this is huge. Still a little skeptical he'll come to LA given the FO's comments about DBB. But, given this, who knows...

    "Given that no better managers are available, we'll stick with DBB." (sarcasm)

    Yeah, I have some skepticism as well. Maybe Maddon sits out a year waiting for the Dodgers to fire Mattingly. But if there's a shot at Maddon right now, you gotta take it.
