November 19, 201510 yr So we already established that Baker was a bad seed... Now Jose is immature but could still be a good person because he just has stuff to learn. If he was late I'm glad Casey at least spoke up. But has this stuff stopped??? Remember in September when it was said Prado and Mathis helped right the clubhouse? It was also said that every negative influence was gone by the trade deadline. So it's possible this is no longer an issue outside of Jose's immaturity and if anything it's up to Mattingly to keep things straight.
November 19, 201510 yr Also, what a poor reflection this is on Jennings and ESPECIALLY Redmond. If Red was allowing this garbage then maybe he needed to let go more than we realized. Although the team's failures weren't his fault, losing the clubhouse in some form or another is also what got Bo Porter and Matt Williams fired too so maybe Red was in the same boat. I already love Mattingly more under the idea that he's a way better clubhouse manager.
November 19, 201510 yr This article seems to be rehashing crap that already was taken care of by September like stated previously. Baker was an issue and to top it off he was having a crappy year. We knew about Latos past coming into this season, that was nothing new there. Though it was also documented that Jose didn't come around to DJ until later in the season. Probably the one line in that article that stood out to me was about some players and coaches hoping Fernandez would get shelled on the mound in hopes that it would humble him. I don't buy that they are shopping him. The only team I would trade him to is the Dodgers for their top 3 prospects lol, that package discussed previously was enticing.
November 19, 201510 yr What does it mean now that there is more than one person reporting stuff like this Admin? Is the cut off for this stuff to be reevant one person like you said or more than one?

November 19, 201510 yr A lot of this can also be misinterpreted. Hoping Fernandez gets shelled doesn't necessarily mean you want the whole team to tank. Fernandez is in his early twenties and professionally has had nothing but success. He probably needs to have some big losses to learn humility. You can wish that upon him almost like a parent would, and not necessarily because you want the team to lose 162 games. And Jose asking for a trade? He could have jokingly gone up to Hill laughing and asking if he was next. Is it respectful to say that to your top executive? Not at all. But that doesn't mean he was adamantly and matter of factly "demanding a trade." He could have easily been trying to joke around, as an immature twenty year old would.

November 19, 201510 yr Author Bob nightengale already spreading misinformation saying we're already trying to trade him. SMH.
November 19, 201510 yr Ken Rosenthal finally brought this up but he didn't confirm or deny anything. He just stated what's been said by Slater and Mish and explained why it wouldn't make sense and would be a dumb move.
November 19, 201510 yr Now everyone is picking it up from the same source. That's different than them all reporting it as their own but I'm sure @fish14 is preparing to throw it in my face.
November 19, 201510 yr Bob nightengale already spreading misinformation saying we're already trying to trade him. SMH. He just tweeted that Slater said that, he didn't say it based on anything he personally knows. If its the tweet I saw.
November 19, 201510 yr I'm just curious which player is the source for Mish and Slater (I'm assuming its the same player)
November 19, 201510 yr Latos or Baker sound about right. Also, Cosart, a newly minted Boras client, wasn't the most pleasant when sent down after his horrendous July 4th source so he's a suspect as well. Also, just for Vince, it could be Brad Hand too.
November 19, 201510 yr Talking about what goes in the clubhouse is one of those unwritten rules. Some of what was reported was real so whoever it is won't be very popular in clubhouses now if his identity comes out.

Man fuck that guy. It wouldn't surprise me if Ramos and hand hung out and Dunn could be the friend nobody likes.
November 19, 201510 yr not that i had much respect for these anyway, but that is all gone especially nightengale. What a fricken hack
