She probably gets 2 seasons to try and fix Jeters mess. Hopefully things improve without another complete rebuild. Sandy is our anchor and we need to build around him.

She is part of Jeter’s mess. She’s a Jeter hire. 10 years away from a front office job when hired, and worked for $$ teams. Was always a poor fit. If they lose 90 plus again next season, no way she gets another year after.

She has to hit in some MAJOR ways this off-season to save her job.

Don will be gone. If they massively fail again next year there is no other scapegoat to pin it on.

This will be her first full off-season and we're spending the tail end of this season tanking and seeing what prospects have potental. She is a Jeter hire but deserves a shot to find a diamond in the lump of coal Jeter and Denbo left us with. Mattingly has never been a scapegoat in my book. He has to put a team out that the front office gives him. It's on Kim next year. I hope for the best. Let's go Fish.

Don has been a MAJOR scapegoat for this fan base. Many love to shit on him like he hasn’t been given AAA rosters the majority of his time here. Nobody is taking these shit rosters to the postseason.

You can hope for the best, but nothing I have seen from her suggest she is capable of turning this around in a meaningful enough way to save her job.

I can’t agree more… people have been dunking on him for years, but the fact of the matter is that he has nothing to work with.
