Yep. To do that, though, they pretty much would have had to have decided before Sunday's game in KC, because right afterwards the team flew from KC to California, and there would be no sense in Holliday making that flight and then flying to Norfolk. And someone (travelling secretary) would have to arrange a flight from KC to Norfolk for Holliday. So those wheels would have had to go into motion Saturday night at the latest, and maybe they weren't ready to pull the trigger that soon. Making a guy fly by himself from KC to Norfolk while the rest of the team celebrates a win and flies in the other direciton can't be fun.
I remember when a lot of people felt it was classless that the Mets fired manager Willie Randolph in the middle of a West Coast trip.
