I think it was quite well known about his issues with La Russa. Pujols was interviewed in St. Louis and mentioned that when he tried to work with him Rasmus would often not want to hit with him or ignore what he was trying to say.
I don't think he was a huge cancer in terms of poisoning other guys as it was more of 25 guys working together and Rasmus off to himself doing his own thing.
I think he might fit in better with the Jays roster and that it isn't a big character flaw with him but a combination of being young and a poor fit. I think that he might have got a bit of a shock from being moved that forced him to change some things as well.
