The Milwaukee Brewers were knocked out of the playoffs in the first round in two games. That makes Craig Counsell unofficially a free agent manager. Could Counsell be a candidate for the Guardians' managerial opening, or is it too much of a foregone conclusion he ends up with the Mets? We look at Counsell's track record to see how good of a candidate he would even be with how things ended in Milwaukee. We also touch on the question of why a Josh Naylor extension was not on either of our Guardians offseason priorities list. And we look at some potentially promising and interesting data from Kyle Manzardo's time in Columbus this year.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!birddogsGo to birddogs.com/LOCKEDONMLB or enter promo code LOCKEDONMLB for a free water bottle with any order.
