Agree that everyone is entitled to their opinion. I was really mad about him asking for a trade, and to one team. With time I have have chosen to let it go and focus on all the guy did for the team while he was here. If what he says is true, that he was told the team was going in a new direction and that he realized he wasn’t part of that plan and also that he wanted to move to a quieter market so his kids didn’t get bugged at school if their dad had a bad game, then that makes my decision to let it go easier.
does that change what happened, no, but listening to him this morning on his interview gave me a better idea about how he feels about the city and the fans here and I choose to look at the positives of his time here. Many player on teams ask for trades , we don’t always know the reasons behind the scenes.
