  1. Same line of thought. The first Duquette move will be fire AA for trade a huge asset like Hoffman for a guy who could being here for free. Tons of O's FO guys want Dan out right now. Angelo is rising Dan's value talking s***.
  2. AA to Duquette after the deal: "I headed entire process to bring you here. Jeff Hoffman is one of the most prized pieces in this organization, which means that your value is very high for me and believe that you will be a great president" "As I appreciate you, I hope you appreciate me in the same way and don't fire me." "I promise to start a diet and reduce my big ass. You are the president and you deserve to have the biggest ass of the whole organization."
  3. The Orioles need to part with GM Dan Duquette. Ken Rosenthal Yes, I noted the strong denial from Orioles owner Peter Angelos after both FOX Sports' Jon Paul Morosi and I reported that the Orioles had discussed a compensation package that the O's would require for allowing Duquette to become CEO of the Blue Jays. To which I say: All part of negotiating. Angelos told Dan Connolly of The (Baltimore) Sun that Duquette to the Jays "is not going to happen." Certainly, I would not expect Angelos to tip his hand. I also would not expect him to part easily with Duquette, who is under contract through 2018. Here's the problem: Duquette wants the job, according to major-league sources; CEO is a step up from GM -- the highest position, in fact, that an executive can attain. Duquette's preference is no secret within the Orioles' organization, creating a question of divided loyalties and an uncomfortable working environment. As I've reported previously, some of those employees believe that Angelos should allow Duquette to depart. What would the Orioles do about a GM? Manager Buck Showalter likely would welcome more responsibility, perhaps even a dual manager/GM role. Special assistant Brady Anderson also could assume expanded duties, and the Orioles could hire an administrative type to make sure the front office ran efficiently. Could Showalter succeed as both manager and GM? Probably not, considering that a GM's responsibilities are almost too much for one person, much less someone who also is managing. But that is a question for another time. The bottom line is that Angelos has an employee who wants to be elsewhere. And that is not a healthy situation. Jeff Hoffman? - No way!!
  4. The only board with a handsome and smart spanish speaker is this. I think I'm one of the differents between the two board. You're lucky to have me. AA, dont trade me for Duquette.!

  17. Ken Rosenthal Sources: #Orioles, #BlueJays have discussed compensation package that O’s would require for allowing GM Dan Duquette to become Jays CEO. Sources add: #Orioles, #BlueJays not close to deal on Duquette, but talks indicate O’s open to his departure; CEO higher position than GM. Duquette under contract with #Orioles through 2018. As I’ve previously reported, some O’s people want him to go. Uncomfortable situation.
