In praise, and hopefully some understanding of Jim Crane.

I think what the national media consistently misses about Crane when they talk about him offering a one-year deal to a World Series winning GM or being heavily involved in contracts is this, he got totally blindsided by the scandal. I feel like his attitude is, “fool me once”. Truth be told, he’s always had a and hand in player acquisitions. This isn’t new. His fingerprints were all over getting Grienke when Luhnow paused over letting Josh Rojas be a part of the deal. He signs the checks and he likes winning. There isn’t a fanbase that wouldn’t trade with us.
