Reply from GM Mike Dunn:
Hey Philitis, thanks for reaching out yet again. Some thoughts:
1. Appreciate that your salutation is to "Mr. Dunn" rather than my first name, unlike the last time. You're learning.
2. Unfortunately, you have ignored my other request from our previous exchange, that any further communication on the matter to me come from your agent. Isn't this what you pay him for? Or are you one of those 'free spirits' who decides they don't need agent. (Spoiler: you need an agent).
3. At this point I would be happy to trade you, you annoy me like an oozing scab I can't help but pick at. But with the generous contract I gave you in the off-season, no other GM in their right mind would take you. Back-up catchers hitting .204 are not worth what you're making.
4. To test my view, I did offer you up to one team. This was their response:
5. Therefore I'd suggest you follow my advice from our previous email exchange: Enjoy your biweekly paychecks and keep your yap shut.6. Your new email is devoid of the grammatical mistakes of your first, so I do sense improvement in that regard. Perhaps you could also devote some attention to improving your hitting.
7. Some related advice: if I was stuck with the name Philitis, I sure as hell would just sign my emails "Phil." Your full name sounds like an infectious disease.
Have a great day!
