I had bad vibes about Dougie last season that ramped up to “let’s trade him” levels when the whole Freddie waiving occurred. Something about the guy just didn’t seem right to me but it is hard to verbalize it. I think John Shannon did a horrendous job of trying to do that with his Moxies/Museum comment. I don’t really care about the team hanging together out all the time but I do care about the apparent pouting when his brother was moved, and skipping his exit interview. While Dougie had a fine statistical/analytical season the team fell very short on expectations. As a core player he needed to take part in that. Those reasons lead me to believe he will never truly be a franchise Dman despite the physical tools and ability.
