The Story: Mike Scioscia doesn’t plan to influence the GM search.
The Monkey Says: Yeah, sure. You got it, buddy. I realize Scioscia has to say that in order to make the position more attractive, but even if Scioscia isn’t actively involved with finding a new GM, his presence will have a major influence. Also, there is a fair amount of subtext in these quotes that makes it abundantly clear that he was “not on the same page” as Jerry Dipoto and that he didn’t think Dipoto subscribed to “our” baseball philosophy, even though it is the GM that is supposed to set that philosophy.
