The tone in any organization flows from the top and we've known how terrible Lincoln and Armstrong are for a long, long time. Gillick left because of it but was a gentleman about it. Pinella was a little more direct when he left because of it. Jeff Nelson had the audacity to talk about it openly on a golf course and was promptly traded because it. Thiel wrote about it at length but never got the quotes that Baker got in this article. The scary thing is that those things happened over a decade ago. Lincoln has got to go.
"More than two dozen people who spoke to The Times say any manager — and the players under him — will fall short of success without a halt to ongoing interference from Lincoln and whomever succeeds Armstrong, who will retire Jan. 31."
