It would be very unusual for someone to clean out their office and pack their shit in their car that is being retained.Quote:

The update is there is not one. One camp expects it to be Muscara and one camp thinks the tide has turned to keep Parker.Quote:

There is a possibility it is neither one of them.
Muscara likes autonomy as well so you may be right that it is neither of them. I tend to think it is going to be Parker though. No knowledge, just a hunch.Quote:

Feels like they make an announcement about that tonight, and since there is still some sentimentality from our fanbase to Parker, it will probably create some energy in the crowd.Quote:

Not with pitching.Quote:

Even if we got Muscara, it would have been a one year deal. He will be a HC somewhere by next summer.
Justin Parker. Back like he never left, mostly because he didn’t.
