Since rumors are encouraged...

It may be a bad rumor and I'll own up to it. But if it's not, I'm not going to beat my chest. You guys will be happy with the hire if it's true.

Understand where I'm coming from out of respect for the athletic department, if it is true. There may be a handshake agreement in place and it's made it's way to the players then made its way to me. Nothing more, nothing less. The players could've been told one thing but usually the information I get is accurate. I trust my guy on this. Time will tell. Makes for good speculation.

if we hire who you are hearing, that is not confirmation that the rumor was true. It just makes zero sense thar Cohen would tell the players.

Maybe Cohen has his guy and it's leaked out and the players are talking about it.....but that is not the same thing as telling the players.

There is almost no chance Cohen has told the players. Word may have gotten out another way though

Agree that I don't believe Cohen did that either. Would be very unprofessional and very un-Cohen like.

If it leaked, that's unprofessional of either Cohen or someone else if it's a college guy. the "guy" may tell us to 17 off for being unprofessional and shit. that would be a disaster and would truly mean our baseball team is truly cursed.

leaks can come from either end or the people in the middle.

If it is leaked out it is not from Cohen. He doesn't operate like that. He said how the coaching search would be handled.

If it leaked, it probably means the potential coach's agent leaked it and he is playing us or the current team for a bigger payday. There is a small possibility that somebody under Cohen overheard something and was stupid enough to endanger his/her job to leak it. There is a small possibility that the coach himself leaked it to say a wife, who then leaked it.

But in reality, Cohen has probably reached out to a few agents, has gauged interest, knows who his first choice of those indicating an intent to take it and has an idea of the basic terms it will take (years and dollars). We'll see a deal hammered out in less than a week after the completion of their season (unless we end up moving on to a second choice who did not advance as far).
