Well that is a interesting take. So am I to assume JD should have left on my to work for guys he 100% agree with. I am not in business for myself but as a non owner there has to be some severe deal breakers for me just to flat out quit
If he was at odds with ownership regarding the direction of the franchise, then I think he should have left. I don't think that has happened though. I think ownership has depended on him to determine the direction the team should take.

I think he wanted to spend more money but ownership said no. Or perhaps they said the time is not right as evidenced by the spending so far this off season

I guess we are all going to choose to believe what we want to believe in a situation like that.

I know that nine years ago he probably should have spent less, but went after Choo and Fielder instead. Then 2 years ago he appeared to have a green light to go after Rendon and misread Boras' patience to play games, proving sometimes it is better to be lucky than good, with the way things turned out.

I think if ownership and a GM or other executive do not see eye to eye, then a parting of the ways is wise for both. That is why Jeter did the right thing.

Last time that happened, where the Rangers were concerned, Ryan and Greenberg won out over Crane and Cuban in the bankruptcy trial.
