Well if all thats true that he'll have full autonomy then that's great. But I'm sorry. There is still doubt in me if he's given full control.

Of course it does, Soprano.  Just think of all the wheeling and dealing and wining and dining that could have been done in the past two weeks.  Sheesh.  

We had to have something to talk about! I've been know to be controversial in slow times.

You can doubt what you wish. I think they have their guy and "Talk with him."

Executive VP, that ousts Brady from his current position, no?

No.   Duquette was also Executive VP.    Brady is just VP.

OK, now that it’s official, I will say I think this is a great hire.    And, I’m very happy with the messaging that’s gone along with it.    It took a long time, but this is an excellent choice and I’m excited to see what Elias and his team will do.

I would love to know what the press release said when Duquette was hired, just to compare.

Here it is: https://www.mlb.com/news/duquette--named-executive-vp-of-baseball-operations/c-25933842

There's no mention in there of Duquette having full autonomy and being free to make all decisions.

There's no job description whatsoever.
