The opposing general manager had a great offer for Rangers GM Tom Grieve.

An alliance. Work together. The two of them and a couple of other general managers.

They would work in cahoots with each other, pass on the latest gossip and whatever other inside information they could dig up on the other teams. Keep each other up to date with the latest dope to be found in baseball. It was an arrangement common with other general managers in the game.

Collusion at its finest.

T.R. Sullivan

T.R. is a Military Brat and graduate of the University of San Francisco who retired in 2020 after a 40-year career with the Denison Herald, Fort Worth Star-Telegram and MLB.Com. He covered the Texas Rangers for 32 years.
