Why? Why would Alex Anthopoulos abandon a team that enjoyed its most successful season in over two decades? Why would he exit after team ownership tried it's hardest to keep around?
We're beginning to get a clearer picture as to why AA exited his post as Blue Jays GM. Rather than "why?" the better question might be "who?"
It's no coincidence that Alex Anthopoulos walked away from the Toronto Blue Jays organization just as Mark Shapiro is set to walk in as the new Blue Jays president.
To me, it signals that the two may have had vastly differing philosophies, which may have led to Alex Anthopoulos' departure.
