I mean, those articles are pretty hosed up. I could see random BBS posters speculating on poo poo like that at the time, but really, news articles?

edit: OK, it seems kind of wild that that news guy was calling Jordan the GOAT in 1993.

David stern is incapable of saying anything sincerely, that "Michael Jordan left of his own accord" sounded like he was mocking everyone

The suspension theory is one of those "haha what a funny thing that happened wink wink" things you throw around as something of an inside joke with friends but actually believing it requires you to be a really dumb person.

if the media hadn't been an issue and he had been able to go down to single A would he have been more successful? Or would it have ended the same way?

I kinda believe that Jordan would have been a decent MLB player out of sheer spite. He did pretty well in the Fall League and I think if he had played in the spring of 95 he'd have made it by 96

I wouldn't doubt Tito Francona tbh
