So I'm still trying to determine who is right or wrong or who is the good guy or who is the bad guy?
Alex Anthopolis or Mark Shapiro?
Jays and Indians fans chime in?

Daniel Norris of the Tigers announced today that he is cancer free. Good to hear...I really feel bad that the guy we gave to the Tigers for David Price got sick and I would have felt worse if it screwed them over because of it.

So I'm still trying to determine who is right or wrong or who is the good guy or who is the bad guy? Alex Anthopolis or Mark Shapiro? Jays and Indians fans chime in? Neither. If anyone is the villain, it's Blue Jays ownership, who has wanted to get rid of Anthopoulos (and the guy who hired him, Paul Beeston) for over a year, but even that's pushing it. Based on what I've read, Jays ownership had a deal in place with Shapiro around July/August. At that point the Jays were hovering around .500 and it would have been completely justifiable to replace Anthopoulos considering they had a top 10 payroll in baseball for the 3rd consecutive year and were a sub-.500 team for much of that time. Then the trade deadline happened and the subsequent two month run happened, so in hindsight, promising Shapiro control of baseball ops in August didn't look as good in October considering what happened in between. I actually side with Jays ownership. They gave Anthopoulos a ton of money to work with over the past three years, and while they had a great two month stretch run towards the ALCS, it was largely because of absolutely gutting the farm system and building a team of 30-something's with very little in the way of cost effective talent. I'm not 100% familiar with Shapiro, but the Indians org is notorious for avoiding the free agent market and avoiding huge contracts in general, while placing emphasis on player development and locking up young existing talent. Seems like there was simply a philosophical difference. Honestly, I don't think anyone is to blame. If anything, Anthopoulos probably left at the right time. His stock probably couldn't be higher than it is now. The Jays will have a bit of a mess after 2016 with Bautista and Encarnacion being free agents with very little in the way of help in the farm, so Anthopoulos leaving now might actually be a really smart play. Let someone else clean up the mess while he gets to reap the rewards of a playoff run.

And with the Royals winning, it's time to warmup the hot stove.

I said it before the playoffs began, anyone but the Mets or Cardinals. Happy for the Royals.

@bnightengale
Black accepted #Nats job last week, but no idea it would pay less than $2 million over 2 years.
