I'm inclined to guess that AA and Beeston knew they were gone at end of the season, so once at the half they figure let's give it a shot and go for some big deals and roll the dice because its probably over. But then it all worked, Jays go deep and now the buzz is huge. Shapiro is already courted by Rogers to come in. Shapiro's ego starts blasting AA for the moves. AA doesn't get the autonomy and walks. Rogers look like they screwed up. Gibbons won't go before start of the season because it would be yet another PR mess, Rogers looks stupid enough right now.
