It looks like Jerry has found an ideal place where he will be treated much better, professionally and given the proper authority a GM should command. Seattle pounced at the opportunity of landing a top notch GM like Jerry when they had the chance. I think it's going to be a great acquisition for Seattle, but unfortunately no so great for us.
I can envision Trout throwing ultimatums to the Angels, he has the juice to do it. Kobe wanted his roster upgraded or he was out / post shaq / pre gasol years
People hate Harper, but I'm glad he has arrived, now it will maybe push Trout to a new level, give him something to raise the bar, like all great rivals
