Buck meeting with Angelos today...

In other news, "Winning Culture" led Max Scherzer to sign with Washington, not the 210 million.

Roy stirring the pot..I like it...what was discussed specifically? Buck takes over for DD we hire a new manager perhaps?

[weams]

Not if the reports out of Toronto are true that Beeston will remain through the season. Of course, the Blue Jays haven't confirmed those reports.

Blue Jays never confirmed that anyone other than Ed Rogers was interested in Dan.

A lot of money, but a great staff. Haterade is so yummy:)

You mean 131 million right?

I like it too. I think TonyOH would be good at the job. I think we should nominate him at the fanfest.

Forgive Washington Nationals owner Mark Lerner if he got swept up in the scene.

Speaking after a news conference Wednesday to announce the addition -- via a $210 million, seven-year contract

ha ha..great quote. Boras should make all his clients t-shirts with that quote:)

I guess the year is ruined then.

I never said that. This has nothing to do with wins and losses. This situation is a mess. A mess that might not haunt us on the field for a couple of seasons. I think we have enough talent now to be decent to really good in 2015. My point was, the media hates on PA. It would blame him wether DD tanked it or not.

Help me out. I know we've heard that Rogers started this mess, but when did the Blue Jays organization confirm it?

Oh certainly. The'll miss him when he's gone.

I had not heard any confirmation. Peter Angelos mentioned his name when addressing the matter only. Who would confirm from Toronto?

[tntoriole]

How do we or anyone if he is doing his best? Is this offseason his best or is his mind preoccupied? And Angelos seems to be painted as a villian in this situation. If DD stays and doesn't do his best, PA will just take the fall as the cheap meddling owner that held DD hostage and wouldn't let him do anything. It's a No win situation.

If he stays through his contract and his lack of performance means we fall off a cliff, DD will get the blame, the ax, and will be seen throughout baseball as somebody, who if hired, will likely be unreliable to his commitments and organization.

Toronto Sun had an article that identified Ed Rogers as starting this after a lunch with Randy Levine, Yankees VP, who suggested Duquette and Williams.

Yeah, I had a language issue there. I assume that It has been confirmed elsewhere that Ed Rogers was the one reaching out.
