    I see that now, hmm. The original tweets I saw said the Braves did. So maybe both did or maybe they split the cost?

    I think both teams might've chipped in, but not sure. Not imp't, considering how relatively small the sum was

    @Think_BlueLA
    @DOBrienAJC @truebluela @uuallace Friedman said yesterday that money came from the Braves, not the Dodgers.

    PS: After reading the Dodgers side it sounds like DOB was just mistaken. DOB saying "not sure" suggests that too.

    I can't read Callaspo's mind and maybe he did like his teammates, but imo, the tax thing was the true sticking point and I'm guessing his agent was the one who pointed out that he would lose 100k or so. And I don't blame the agent or Callaspo for doing it.
    thank you weso1!

    Yea, it was probably mostly about money.

    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

    No.

    PS: I did find it interesting Thomas still got a win in the game. PCL games can be crazy that way sometimes.

    Also I believe it has been a while since he has pitched in a game.

    If he regrets it based on one outing, he should probably step down as GM.

    I liked Ian, but I like the potential upside in this deal a lot more.
