Perhaps Dan Duquette actually won this Game of thrones afterall? If so, what a comeback!

Not if Dan and Buck were sitting right next to him....like Ozzie and Bisciotti and Harbaugh do every year. 

Good point, but I understand this was a phone conference only.

It would be a good idea to do something public facing next week and have one of the Angelos brothers there.

Days of hiding behind the curtain need to end.

I’m just stunned right now.  Please, please follow through and start emulating the Astros and Indians.

Sounds like the crew is sticking around then... at least for one more season.

But what are they going to do with the big elephant in the room, Chris Davis? They should really see if a buyout is possible.

He is saying changes are on the way. 

Thank god. Best news fans could hear. This is bigger than the Manny Trade.

They can just release him but he still gets his $$, Boras will make sure of it.

Wait as long as you can beforehand.  Tank with Davis.  Buy him out when it becomes obvious he's blocking someone.

Until then, try to deal Trumbo.

Davis is not that big an elephant. The money sunk just prevents us from dreaming irrationally about things that we had no right dreaming about in the first place. If anything, it focuses the mind. The sunk roster spot will sort itself out in due time once it matters.

Sign me up for Dan running the show.  He's a shrewd guy and if it's clear that he is in charge, without any interference, things might start going right around here.  Let's maximize return on ZB, Jones, Brach Gausman.  Extend Schoop.

Is there a luxury tax floor?  If so, Davis will help us reach it.
