Maybe Jack wasn't really telling the league, 'These are our players and you can't have them!' Just like many of us thought it was odd that he thanked ownership for being able to add Kendrys, I think this was more of a pointed comment than a general one.
As we all know there was that story that Rosenthal and Fox ran with about how Z is hard to deal with. I wonder who would leak these things? Maybe a team that wanted too much? Maybe a team that has gotten killed by Z in a trade before. Just moments after Ruben Amaro Jr. came out and said teams weren't as aggressive as he expected, GMZ fires back with a counter-shot.
Maybe there was a bigger falling out between these two than we know about.
That, or I like conspiracies too much.
