Not surprised. About once or twice a decade you have one of these very small market teams make deep runs or even win it all. The fact that drafted players are under such a long contract, it makes it easy to tank and stock pile young talent for a bunch of years.

David Samson was on LeBatard on Thursday and was pointing out how they're the only team in baseball where the owner truly lets the GM and everyone else do their jobs to put the best team out on the field. He doesn't try to push for signings or anything. He lets them do their jobs.

As for the Montreal move, Samson believes Stuart Sternberg is threatening that only so someone in the Tampa area can buy the team and he can walk away with over a billion dollars.
