Props for the clarification.
And yes, just take one look at Twitter and it is a total shitfest, people unabashedly flaming Shapiro, Rogers, etc.
Also French, have you even read anything today about this situation? Really seems like you haven't.
Throwing in the players AA traded for Donaldson here is silly, but the rest is fine.
If Rogers cuts payroll significantly, they can go roll in broken glass.
Well he's been s***-kicked by just about everyone in the baseball world (and other worlds for that matter) over the past however many years, things like that tend to humble you.
I think you're underestimating just how important it was for the team to make a run this year, but whatever.
Besides any concerns about the level of baseball operations control between them, why (in your opinion) can't Shapiro and AA work together to put this franchise where it needs to be, both in the now and long term?
Oh for f*** sakes. Do you think he saw Josh Johnson blowing a gasket and basically ending his MLB career?
The Price and Tulo deals netted them a shot at a WS title this year (Tulo will most likely be sticking around), something this franchise dearly needed, so you can't start going into this nonsense when we just so happen to come up a bit short.
And the Martin point, yeah I'm not even going to touch that one.
