I see it the same way. Facebook is making a shrewd move that I admire..

God bless him

The same guy we almost sent to Japan? Anyways, I'm fine with this. Another legitimate starting option, Hendricks will be replaced just fine.

This is impossible anyways.

Ross has been the worst player in the first round of the playoffs for two consecutive years. He's mentally unstable on the court. I wouldn't have given him a contract at all, but whatever..

Yup, he made a lot of excellent moves, and in the Donaldson case perhaps one of the best ever. It outweighs a lot of his mistakes.

Still can't believe the guy paid for Dickey's would be contract if he came to the Blue Jays. Only GM I've ever seen do it. 1 year of control and he paid for an extension.

Well said, this is exactly how I feel. The last sentence is the only explanation for what he's done. He's disillusioned himself and until he's 2-3 years into his second GM job and the fans/media start coming for blood will he realize how poor his decision was. We let him trade for prospects, watch him try to exploit the draft, target players that hadn't lived up to their expectations, go reliever crazy and make it his top priority, to finally trading away the prospects he drafted... Which he had the privilege of doing twice. He won't find that opportunity anywhere else, that much I'm sure of.

I just remembered the Brandon Lyon trade. Alex should have been gone two years ago guys.

Great work

Keep Gibby...

AA's negotiating and ability to connect with other GM's is his best trait without a doubt.

Bob Nightengale ‏@BNightengale 36m36 minutes ago Trading places: Dan Jennings would be a perfect fit with the #Bluejays as GM; and Alex Anthopoulos would be natural with the #Marlins Some of these guys just have no idea do they..?

I tend to agree. Some young GM's would have never recovered after the Mets/Dickey fiasco. Alex made a shrewd and calculated move.

I've never seen three months shift the opinion of a man quite like it has AA. If this had happened in July of 2013, 2014, or 2015, I'm excited and ready for a new regime. Instead, I'm somewhat curious if this is the right move. Although I must admit, the more Alex speaks on this topic, the more I recognize he may just be a greedy bastard.
