Lmao. That’s greatness.

Didn’t have to thank Jason, since I’m the one who wrote it.

How so?

1) owner picking a manager.
2) forcing team to apologize for something that as part of the investigative process the were granted immunity from.
3) injecting own kids into exec roles they have no business or experience being in.
4) bet you a dollar hes going to be involved in trades and acquisitions from this point out. Both of which he hasnt got a clue about.

1.) Crane hired Lunhow and Hinch originally.
2.) I think this is smart... not so much the blanket apology but getting everyone on board with how they are going to talk about this as the year progresses is not a bad deal.
3.) baseball wants every team to have succession built into their organization. This was the reasoning for having Cranes son more involved.
4.) crane manufactured the Greinke trade... which I agree is scary bc I thought we gave up too much but it was an all in move that was 3 innings from producing.

1. Hiring a full time GM that has more than the interim tag this close to spring training is unlikely. I don't see where Crane has a choice but to be involved in hiring a manager.

2. They were granted immunity from MLB sanctions, not accountability.

3. I don't like that Crane pushed Reid Ryan out for his kid, but it isn't like he has a position on the baseball operations side.

4. The owner is always involved in trades and acquisitions from a payroll standpoint.

You may very well be correct, but I don't see the evidence of that yet.
