Agreed talked about a lot in advance of the trade, but I'm saying it's not talked enough now about the tipping point for that franchise.
I mean they even stripped him of the C in fall of that year. Why? What did they think that was going to do?
Instead of trying to save the relationship they doubled down.
Idiots.
