It’s not about “impatience” if the original deal wasn’t on the table anymore.

Yes you do. 

are you going to keep at this until you get the answer you're looking for?  

Arte pulled out.  You should do the same.

You didn’t get my comment.  If Fletcher has the real scoop, I would love for him to report it with his own source with details.

He's given us the real scoop. You just don't seem to like the answer.

I got your comment perfectly and he's already given you the info you need which you've chosen to discount or ignore.  

it's not a big deal anymore.  the trade didn't happen.

You are wrong.  I accept his report.  Up until 29 minutes ago all we had was one guy tweeting from an unnamed source.  I believe Jeff.

Ok so it's all settled then. 

Arte is a butthead.

Who’s passing judgement. He’s been a great owner. People owners businessmen make mistakes to. We are all emotional beings and none of us are perfect. There is no judgment being passed. I’d reports are true which look more and more likely then it stinks but. It’s still been a great offseason. No ones disputing it. 

Mistakes sure, massive clusterfuckups, not so much.
If this trade was blown over nothing more than impatience, thats a lot more than just a mistake.

I thought exactly like you about 8 hours ago, and then I talked to someone who definitely knows exactly what happened. And now I don't think that way any more.

I don't know what else I can tell you.

So clarify, did we actually just blow this off over irritation and impatience?  Is that what im getting here or am i misunderstanding?  Ive been praying someone would tell us the dodgers tried to change it and we didnt throw this away for nothing.
I know theres only so much you can say, but yeah, help us out here.   

[UndertheHalo]

@floplag Jeff is saying that while he can’t say specifically.  So far as he knows the original deal was not changed. Take that as you will.

He pretty much said it. He's not going to call Arte out. But he said Arte nixed the deal.

Whatever. It's over and done with. I've lost a fuckton of respect for Arte but whining about it isn't going to change anything.

Arte nixed the deal isnt the point, the point is why.
was it changed, or did he just throw a fit.
If the later he made a huge blunder

Well shit... thats not what i was hoping to hear.  
If true, he fucked up, hard. 

[Docwaukee]

it sounds to me like the dogs were never given a chance to abide by the deal as originally agreed upon vs. trying to change it.  

in other words, they were never given a chance to be a-holes.  Arte beat them to the punch.

Arte, 

 

[goldenGlove]

I guess it was really about impotence after all

I wonder what Eppler said/thought while watching Arte do this. 

I'm still really looking forward to this season, but losing out on Stripling for such a stupid reason is a major bummer.  

Thank God I have beer and Road House is on TV.

This is it.  Then Arte has a tantrum and they were like “OK, screw you, it was a shitty trade for us anyways.”

The Dodgers won the no trade.

Stepping on the toes of the experts you hired to do their jobs and putting your own ego first. Major yikes. This is bad management 101.

Well per Fletcher it looks like it was. But even if it was then I don’t know if I’d consider it a massive clusterfuck. Business deals fall through all the time for reasons. He’s still a great owner and every owner has their own things to them.
