Machado comments after trade

[jrobb21613]

what do you think Manny is referring to?

Asked what went wrong w/ the 2018 #Orioles, Manny Machado said "It’s been for years now, some of the people haven’t been on the same page. It was just a matter of time that things weren’t going to be as lucky as they were in the past.”

I don't know. It's in the past. I will let sleeping dogs lie.

Sounds like DD and Buck were not agreeing on things.  When people tell me Angelo's sons are different,  I see Buck mismanaging the team with no consequences and I know the leaves didn't fall too far from the tree.

Why would he even say this? Just stirring the pot for no reason.

Also Brady running amok.

He was asked a question.  I am not sure why him answering it would bother you.

So you honestly think Peter would have allowed DD to trade Manny and Britton? I think the sons are better than their dad. I'm hoping John or DD fires Buck if he wants to come back.

Fire Brady too.

I just feel there’s other ways to go about it.  Especially considering leaving Baltimore “left a hole on his heart”.

Once a player is no longer an Oriole I don't care if they dance naked at second base while shaking a bag of chicken bones over their head.

The mismanagement of the team, the quarrels between different vague levels of decision-making, may have been what started the hole in the first place.

At the same time, I think Manny usually had his way while with the O's. They always bookmarked his page.

I don't see any controversy here.  Tony has pretty much said the same.

Or just put him back in the job where he was contributing positive results, and not contributing to the front office power struggle.

Well Manny is going to say things that most likely relate to him. The biggest thing to impact him was the Chris Davis contact and we all know that was a Brady/Buck/AJ thing and not really DD. If we don’t give that contract then we could’ve had a better shot to sign Manny.
