This must have taken a lot of effort. Thanks for the comprehensive deep dive. This offseason will be fascinating - as they all are.

As for Bass - it takes an extreme amount of ignorance on the part of a relatively public figure to not foresee this backlash. Several years ago I was lucky enough to spend time with a journalist who used to cover the Jays for one of the major Toronto newspapers in the 90s and as a tragic fan it was like a dream come true to ask him questions about my favourite players and 'what they were really like.'. He didn't paint a pretty picture. Most were arrogant, alpha males with huge egos (not really a surprise), many of whom weren't much smarter than their bats (his words, not mine). While I'd like to think times have changed, maybe not in this case.
