“I think one of the things with Alex is that he does a lot of the deals himself,” says Longo. “There are other organizations where the GM has the assistant GM do it, or he has a group of people he consults and the more people you talk to about it, the more chances there are for a leak.”
Sosnick, who called Anthopoulos “very anal about stuff,” says it’s all part of his compulsive nature.
“He makes an unlimited amount of phone calls on any player who’s out there. He investigates every single possibility. When there’s a minor-league free agent that he wants, he’ll make a call on it himself, which is unheard of. He’s in the middle of everything. When it comes to turning over stones, he’s an animal. I bet he makes 20 calls to one, compared to some other GMs. He’s merciless.”
