    That's lipstick on a pig. Randy Smith was in over his head from Day 1. Lack of a plan was on Smith, no matter how he'd like to explain it away. Drafting a reliever with the No. 1 overall pick? Yeah, brilliant.

    The weirdest thing about Dave Dombrowski's tenure with the Tigers was that he didn't walk in the door, walk into Randy Smith's office, and shout, in his best Billy Ray Valentine voice, "GET. THE. FUCK. OUT.", but instead waited 9 months (or maybe a full year, I forget now) before sending him bumbling out into the street.

    I think he wanted to be just the president until he got in there and saw what a mess Smith made

    The mess Smith made was the reason Dombrowski had to be brought in to fix it up.

    Right, but Dombrowski didn’t take over GM duties until he fired Smith and Phil Garner six games into the 2002 season

    Dellin Betances to the Mets. Pretty solid move if he’s fully healthy.

    Will Harris (no relation) to the Nats, I've seen 3/24 million. Not sure how I feel about that. Can he play third base?
