Site reader Louis Hamel reminds me to mention this tidbit about Dodger general manager Dan Evans from T.J. Simers:
EVANS SAID he didn't mislead fans when he repeatedly said the impending ownership change had no impact on his dealings to improve the team.
"You haven't heard me say that since the end of the winter baseball meetings," he said, implying new marching orders have been issued.
I asked him if that was what he was implying, and he said, "I just said what I said," which is true when you think about it. And maybe the first time with certainty I could say that about anything he has had to say.
Said Hamel: "So it's official...our GM has no authority to effectively do his job."
