They were frightened.

I want Mass.

What is this? Listen, I'll grant your Felger's afraid. Here we go. Man, I got to lay off the peyote. It was horrendous. Felger and Mass. 985, the Sports Hub. Do you think Henry was supportive, or do you think Henry was behind it? Oh, I think the first thing. I think Henry said that's your call, buddy. Your call.

See, I think that Henry wanted to get rid of him every bit as much as Dumbrovsky there.

He might have, but I think he's letting Dombrovsky own it. In other words, well, that's probably right. If it were the other way, if Dumbrowski wanted to keep him and Henry wanted him out,

Henry's there today.

Don't you think that that was one of the key takeaways that there was no ownership

presence there?

Yeah, maybe.

No?

Well, I'll tell you why, because I think that they are so sensitive now about this

perception that ownership is pulling the strings on everything player moves,

wanting star players and, you know, selling panda poop in a bag and bricks and the whole nine

yards.

That they, it wouldn't surprise me if the owner shows up to do his thing at spring training every

the year and then we don't see him again.

Jimmy, tell me, last year when Dombrowski did his press conference the day after the season

and said, I just passed John in the hallway and, you know, he's re-upped.

Was Warner there? Was Henry there? Were there others there? Was it just Dombrowski? It was. All right. So maybe that's, maybe I can't read into that. Well, John Henry hates most of the media. I mean, he won't even go on the station he owns.

But I think they just don't want the perception anymore

that they're peering over someone's shoulder.

And maybe Dombrovsky doesn't want that perception.
