Yes. It might be hard to look at the bigger picture for idiots like you, but maintaining a good image, maintaining a better clubhouse atmosphere, and making decisions that keep ownership and your players happy are all factors that the front office actually has to take into account. This atrocious Toronto media already loves to turn every pellet of s*** into a s*** storm, and this idiotic new narrative about Dickey being a "clubhouse cancer" (just because he keeps to himself) is a great example of that. If Dickey winds up unhappy with the guy catching him and says something about it, or even wears his dreary "depressed-old-man" expression on his stupid mug long enough, the media would have a field day with it. You make compromises with the clubhouse when you're getting Yunel Escobar from the Braves for nothing in return. You don't deal with all of that garbage for Erik Kratz.
