THE Jack 2049.20: GM Ben Teague Faces Angry Hares Fans

THE Jack

Edmonton, Alberta
**********************************


As soon as it was rumored, so as soon as it was done because it was done quickly, outrage started to grow. There were a lot of suffering Jackrabbits fans have faced from a franchise that, not that long ago, was a playoff contender every year. This is the awkward stage...the end of the honeymoon phase. Rumors flew and landed with a thud when Edmonton announced they had indeed shipped .

104 G, .298 wOBA, .258/.309/.394, 21 HR, 77 RBI, -0.4 WAR; 8/8/10/4/8)

It was added insult. Feliciana was not on the face of the franchise but one of the best and most well-known 1B/3B in the BBA. He didn't even get a prospect. No cash return either. The rage of the fanbase was tangible in the Jackrabbits conference room. In defense of the deal, Teague would only say, "It's always hard to navigate some of these things. A GM is questioned sometimes as much as the Head Coach when things aren't going well. But there is a process and I want everyone to stick with us. There are better days ahead."

The Jacks sent Feliciana to the Charlotte Cougars in exchange for LF Manoell Whanon; (122 G, 23 2B, 8 HR, 47 RBI, .249/.344/.344, +1.7 WAR) According to sources, the move came about during work on the near and far future. One source stated, "There is no coincidence when you look at the books."

César Feliciana is in the midst of a $11.5m, $12.5m, $12.5m, and 2 years at $13.5m per and 2 TOs for '52 & '53 deal with $3m fees for, now, Charlotte. Whanon is far cheaper at $10m next season, then a TO for a $13, and PO for $13.5m the final 2052 season. The difference in $$ is not-eyebulging, but things click in when you take a wider view. Feliciana could go on, in a near season, snag an MVP...but it would be on a losing teams in front fans who only come to see him. Now he can hopefully catch on fire there.

In a similar situation with A-Rod. Should I trade him? Yes. But it’s damn difficult to let go of the captain.

Damn hard. But no one showed the willingness to take on his long contract. In about 4-5 years I'll regret this move.
