There is one thing you've written that has me confused, Geoff:  why do we say that "the Mariners" didn't know about Leuke?
Looks obvious to me that:
From Zduriencik down, they knew who Josh Lueke was, and didn't especially care. 
Armstrong and Lincoln didn't, at the moment of the trade, know who Lueke was.
After Z and co. found out how much Armstrong and Lincoln did care about the personal background, only then did Z's spin machine kick in -- with the intent of repairing interoffice relationships.
Which you opposed (the spin machine, that is) with the intent of establishing the truth, and with the inadvertent result of preventing the repair of their work relationships.
Tell me where I'm going wrong with that understanding.

Are you saying that Armstrong and Lincoln should have known who Leuke was before okay'ing the deal?  Or are you saying that Jack Zduriencik and his staff didn't know what the charges were at the time of trade?
