Then perhaps we need to look at adding language to the rules that 1) label a move to another team as a promotion. When Jake (I believe it was him) left a good Angels team to rebuild the Nats, was that a promotion? and 2) put in the rules language that better illustrates what should and should not go into internal franchise movement among GMs. As it currently reads, the ONLY thing that is LISTED IN THE RULES is internal members get first shot. Says nothing about previous track record or likeability of GM. A league is only as strong as the integrity of its members and the strength/adherence to its rules. The story would be different if it weren't put into writing via executive order. I agree the league needs some fresh blood and welcome the previous dialogue as well as the changing landscape. Time will tell if the league is strong enough to withstand such turnover.
