If Alex Cora wasn't available, do I think Rob Thompson would have been fired today?

That's my question.

Probably.

I want to ask Samson about that.

It's very intriguing.

I mean, we've been talking about him being fired for weeks.

And I think the only thing that could have happened is Alex Cora gets fired and that maybe moved Dombrowski's –

you know, forced his hand, but no, I think Rob was going to be, Rob was going to be gone unless, unless they turned it around.

Rob was going to be gone at some point in the next two weeks.

Anyhow, even if Cora isn't available, Cora isn't available.

And your team isn't doing well.

You just fire Rob Thompson and you bring, and you put Mattingly like Dombrowski is not stupid.

I'm sure.

Here's the thing.

I guarantee you, I guarantee you that there were back channel talks before David was

offered the job to Cora.

Because that's the way it happens.

Somebody knows somebody who knows somebody.

You say, hey, if you're talking to that guy, do you think Alex would be interested in our job?

I'm not saying Dombrowski called up Alex.
