@JimmyFlorida337@gameofsyn@TalkinBaseball_@TalkinJake@trevorplouffe It had nothing to do with having the means. The Rays had too many good young players they had to protect and needed to trade one. The Rays actually looked like they won the deal in the first couple years after it.
Also, itโs Mr. 44 2/3 scoreless innings.
@TigersJUK I think this is true when it comes to on-field decisions. I think the real impact is in the clubhouse and the atmosphere they help create. In that respect I doubt there is anyone better than Rob Thomson.
