If a team like the Cubs or Mets doesn’t immediately grab the opportunity to get Gardenhire, they are fools!
Gardenhire is the ever-popular “player’s manager”. Meaning here, the inmates ran the asylum.
He played favorites, ruined young players, let veterans go who improved after they left us (the last two NL batting champs came directly from the Twins and there were seven former Twins in this year’s All-Star game) and he was 6-21 in the playoffs including losing the last twelve.
Go for it.
