That they fired Ng because they wanted to hire a PBO over her sounds like they already know who they want.

I hope that person spurns them based on managing to lose one of the better GMs in the league.

Dayton Moore is just sort of hanging out with the Rangers. I'm sure he'd love to run another franchise (into the ground).

skill issue

before the terrible benny and the jets cover zobrist would walk up to his wife's christian contemporary pop hit 'alive' which is not a good song but at least had a nice driving four-to-the-floor beat to get the applause going

lmao what the gently caress? Did they think their GM would just meekly accept an obvious demotion after year where the Marlins got to the playoffs?

No, they expected and wanted her to resign. Adding a layer above you and pointedly not considering you for the position is a very standard way of letting an executive know your services are no longer required and your resignation will be accepted, all over the corporate world.

Rogers did the deed, Shapiro was just the stooge hired because Eddie can't handle anyone that people like more than him.

Though in AA's case, it was replacing the "retiring" Beeston - who AA actually liked and respected, with Shapiro - who is Shapiro rather than inventing a new position.
