yep, you gotta pay attention to moral hazard. Its not as big a deal in the NFL since in-season trades are rare. Ideally, if I were the owner, I'd put my GM on a rolling 2-year contract that automatically renews every year about a month after the season. The GM might still think that this is the make or break year, but he'll never be in the last year of his contract and might not know for sure that he has to make long-term dumb moves to win now.

You'd guarantee that you would have to eat a year if you ever did decide to fire the GM, but its probably worth it.

Sad thing is....I'll own up to it...I'm actually ok with that (if that scenario plays out).

After decades of being one of the worst 3-5 teams in baseball......it's a whole other world actually having a competitive team that is in the hunt post-all-star break!

I know it's ridiculous to think that way....but losing 100 games nearly every season is ridiculous also.

Royals Courting Masahiro Tanaka By Highlighting Kansas City’s Rich Japanese History

Quote:
KANSAS CITY—In a meeting that included an elaborate tea ceremony, the Kansas City Royals made their bid to sign prized right-hander Masahiro Tanaka by highlighting their city’s vibrant Japanese history, sources confirmed Thursday. “From several world-class Tang Dynasty art museums to the countless Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines in the metropolitan area, Kansas City reverently honors the ancient traditions of the Japanese people,” said general manager Dayton Moore, who invited Tanaka to join him in the onsen, a Japanese hot spring, behind the centerfield wall. “With numerous cherry blossom festivals and Gagaku concerts, you’ll feel right at home. In fact, many regard K.C. as Little Tokyo.” Following the meeting, witnesses confirmed that the 25-year-old was treated to a Royals-themed kabuki performance starring the team’s current pitching staff.

Sonofabitch! I saw the headline and wondered why I never knew that KC had a "Rich Japanese History". Then I'm reading the article and thinking WTF is this shit? Finally I looked at the source and saw that it was The Onion.

:doh!:
