Hochman column on Oli

[Dicktar2023]

Chat GPT estimates Marmol's salary between 3 and 4 million annually.

Goole's AI says "Oliver Marmol's estimated salary as a MLB manager is approximately $778,650 for the 2025 season, according to a Baseball Prospectus report detailing his recent contract extension. This reflects the value of his new one-year contract signed in March 2025 with the St. Louis Cardinals."

I think it is between those 2 figures. 778K would be the equivalent of player minimum wage. It's likely more than that. I'm guessing between one and 2 million.

[Basil Shabazz]

It’s between $800k and $1m

[ecleme22]

Marmol doesn’t make enough money for any decision on his employment to be about saving money.

That’s a shallow out.

Lol.

My point was I hope, if they do retain him, it’s not because of cost.

As you said, Oli doesn’t make that much. It would fiscally better to keep him instead of paying him + paying the new manager.

Got it, sport?

Managers generally don't make a lot, so the salary isn't going to break anyone.

You’re talking about an org whose big signing was Maton for 1.2 million.

Also, about managers not making a lot, google Francona and Counsell.

Stay on topic

Google “Oliver Marmol contract”

You are the epitome of distraction and moving goal post.

That poster is lost. Reading comprehension problems combined with distraction.

Basil apparently has the issue with reading comprehension.

Even so, that's negligible. BDW didn't save Schildt or Matheny, even though they were in the middle of contracts. Most of all, the big man is clearly thinking about the future, since he's having Molina cosplay as manager. If your boss told you not to come into work next week because he's having a new guy do your job for a day, just to see how it feels, what would you think of your job security?

It is odd that the sports journalists keep throwing water on the idea of firing Marmol, but that could just reflect the current FO's protection of Mo's "legacy" for now.

If BDW does keep him, the only reason is to give fans the finger.

[hmoss859]

That was the most spineless column ever written.

Not one mention of the sloppy play, boneheaded decisions this team makes

I suppose he got a nice vacation voucher from the front office

Hochman is a joke of a columnist.

A joke.

[mizfan]

If Hochman wants Oli to stay it's just more proof he needs to be fired.

It might be negligible to you and me since it isn't our salary, but real important to Oli. He's likely at the tail end of any serious salary in MLB. I hope he's saved a lot of his 4+ million the past 4 years. After '26, he isn't likely to see much of a baseball paycheck.

Frankly, I don't think JR had much to do with Schildt's firing. That looks purely like a Mo decision. JR was asked to buy in and he did. My guess is that JR will let Chaim decide when it's time for Oli to leave.

[Basil Shabazz]

Who is JR?

[Ordinary Man]

Who is JR?

More importantly, who shot him??

Ha ha ha that’s hilarious!

Mozeliak makes $ 2 million; you really think Marmol’s extension is for $3-4 mil per?

Thanks for the laugh.

[ilcubuffs]

Big question is how much SmartWater money did Marmot have to pay Hochman to write such diarrhea??

Interesting that Gray, in column below Hochman's, states - "When we learn to win these games is when we’ll, as a team, take the next step,' says Sonny Gray. .... "But training that way, making every decision along the way, make the right baseball decision – that is just something you have to train and train and train so that becomes natural instinct."

Obviously Gray is competent while Marmot is just taking up space.

I would bet that’s right where his salary is, approx the same as ML rookie.

I meant it's negligible in the payroll of a MLB team.

Basil didn’t quote you, you insecure dick.

Follow the conversation, Cletus.

You made a point. I happened to agree with your point.

Then Basil made a point that I also happened to agree with.

But then as usual you take his point as something you’re required to argue about.

Because you are an insecure dick who loves to argue until you’re blue in the face over stupid, pointless things.

Such as arguing for many pages over your idiotic hypothetical about how all of CT would be dancing if Joe Girardi managed the Cardinals this year to the same record as useless Oli.

Now carry on.
