I don’t know if we were actually listening to the Alex Anthopoulos conference call on Thursday afternoon or somebody slipped in an old Twilight Zone rerun.
In any case, it was bizarre with a capital B.
Over and over, the out-going Blue Jays GM heaped praise at team owner Rogers and incoming president Mark Shapiro, but not once did he say exactly why he was leaving. He danced around the question.
The Jays offered him a contract extension, he turned it down. And he said they treated him magnificently. So why is he leaving?
