Great piece as always. The one counterpoint I’ll make to the executive stability argument: if Shapiro were to drop a “I’ve unilaterally selected James Click to head our baseball operations department as GM without an exhaustive search or interview process” it would seemingly accomplish the same thing and be universally celebrated by fans. If they’re intent on selling ticket packages for next year…
Took a few momentary sit downs to finish. As always, a thorough job with a nice F U to the whiny fan. I'm a glass is 3/4 full kinda guy, Atkins is a 3/4 good GM. The Kikuchi deal probably saved his parking spot. Nice eluding to the Mike Myers character, start banking the ogre jokes if Schreck ever makes it. Batflip fan!
Excellent stuff. Unravels the complexity of the Jays wheeling and dealing over the past few days. Now just waiting patiently for a Vladdy extension and a double-A/triple-A promotion for fellow Oakville native Dasan Brown! Go C’s!!

Thank you for resisting the urge to include examples of brain dead negativity.
But also thank you for reading enough Rosie D to let us know when she needs blasting so we don’t have to.

“08/06/24 CF Dasan Brown assigned to New Hampshire Fisher Cats from Vancouver Canadians.” Woohoo!! Congrats Dasan, go get ‘em!!
Glad you waited. The fully thought out piece was great and preferred to quick hits that lack research. Great work.
Thanks man!
