Part two of the tweet
Doesn’t look like Damon is going to Oakland.
And there goes another team…
Damon’s market is drier than the Sahara desert.
His market this year
Makes Abreu’s last year look like Teixeira-level
PIZZA?!?

There was always a market for Thome
Bradley was only a surprise because we didn’t think someone would be dumb enough to trade for Carlos Silva

The Cubs put money ahead of things like 'talent' and 'winning.' This probably shouldn't have been as unexpected as it was, as this is a rather consistent MO for that organization.
I miss George Steinbrenner. He was the man responsible for keeping the Yankees competitive.
And yes, I know that sounds hypocritical, but there's a difference between the Rays not being able to afford a $100m payroll and the Cubs crying poormouth with a $130m payroll.

They spend a lot of money
They just spend it stupidly.
And even if you’re right, The Tribune Company was in huge financial trouble. They are under new ownership now so we’ll see what happens.

They didn't start really spending money until 2004, then immediately howled about it like they were already bankrupt. Plus, they pull 30k + a game, have criminal ticket costs, and get amazing TV ratings.
Maybe the new ownership might help, but considering the Pricketts took over in October and the very first major move they made ended up valuing money over talent, I wouldn’t hold my breath.

Billy Beane isn't God.
Put your copy of Moneyball down, nerd.

I think the A's
designated Taveras for assignment already. mlbtraderumors.com suggests they only took him to get Rosales
