Braves interviewed Tony Reagins for their GM job

[totdprods]

Valid...ation? Wait, what?

[Taylor]

"So, tell me about your achievements."

"I traded Mike Napoli for Vernon Wells ... I'll see myself out."

[ten ocho recon scout]

"I was replaced by Jerry DiPoto..."

[Adam]

This has to be a diversity thing

"And I was late to Carl Crawford's suite at the Winter Meetings, so he signed with Boston before I can give him my pitch.....er, nevermind.  Thanks for granting me an interview."

[Billy_Ball]

"I make splashes at the deadline (Mark Teixeira, Dan Haren.)"

"My best deals are signed at Del Taco."

Ironically, my BIL's first boss in MLB was Tony Reagins

Juan Rivera too

[Taylor]

Man, I completely forgot about Juan Rivera.

[Blarg]

So did the Blue Jays. They sold him to the Dodgers. 

[gurn67]

Well, if Bill Bavasi got another GM job, I guess anything's possible.

[Taylor]

This thread reminds me of the thread from around 2012 when someone claimed they saw Reagins on TV at a Rockies game in CO. There was a picture of the seats behind the dugout, and sure enough, Reagins or a guy who looked exactly like him was sitting in the crowd at Coors Field.

And when they interviewed Anthopoulos:  

So, tell me about your achievements."

"I traded Vernon Wells for Mike Napoli."

"You're hired!"

"I then traded Napoli for Frank Francisco."

Whoops!

This thread is going places, unlike the Braves if they hire Reagins.

Reagins was a manager at In N Out for a year but he got fired for giving a customer a Double Double in exchange for a half-eaten turkey sub from 7-Eleven.

[disarcina]

wow - don't see this happening.

would prefer he became GM of one of our division or perhaps league rivals.

Reagins was a nice guy, I guess -- but did ZERO for the Halos franchise.

I smell a elephant in the room

[Second Base]

1. I successfully navigated the free agent waters by showing up late to the winter meeting and losing out on Carl Crawford.

2. Managed to avoid adding unnecessary payroll space by not pursuing aging players, even though they were living in the OC and were knocking on my door asking to be signed like Adrian Beltre.

3. I evaded saying anything dumb to the media by literally running away from them.

4. I called for change by complaining that the winter meetings were pointless because everything is done over the phone.

5. I set the standard on attendance by being the last to show up and the first to leave.

6. I maintained good relations with my manager by allowing him to GM this team.

7. I revolutionized the free agent acquisition process by allowing free agents to "fall in my lap".

8. I made a lasting impact on the future of my ball club (Vernon Wells).

If hired, my first order of business will be lunch, followed by a long period of unavailability and finally, the firing of some guy named Garrett Wilson in my analytics department for being critical of me at MWAH during my tenure with the Angels.

No wonder Dipoto seemed like a jedi.

In 1995 before the season started, didn't Bavasi try and trade Jim Edmonds, Garret Anderson, Troy Percival and JT Snow for Rick Aguilera but was actually turned down by the twins?

Anyone know he was he really that stupid?

I want Reagins to get another job so that he can trade with the Angels; so he can repair the damage that he did while GM.
