The reigning baseball executive of the year just turned down a contract from his hometown team for non-monetary reasons. Let that sink in for a moment. If people didn't understand the hate long term Jays fans have for Rogers, they should now.
I don't think AA is the be all and end all (I found the way he handled the season after they clinched a playoff spot to be pure thrash), but that just shows how much respect Rogers has in the baseball world. No one,not even AA, thinks they can be successful with these clowns setting the rules and strategies. The first chance to get out of from their grasp, he took. What kind of a message does this send to meaningful free agents when the beloved leader doesn't even want to be there.
