That's got to be the shortest run ever for a GM.

Really makes me uneasy. What is going on that he comes in, makes a big splash and then leaves a few months later? Apparently a fist fight (almost?) broke out according to Fish. I'd love to know what was said and if it was related to the Mavs or if it was personal.

I hear Gersson Rosas & Cuban almost got in a fight and Ron Washington broke it up.

Also, why was the manager of the Rangers involved?

I don't know if Fish is being sarcastic or real. But this is odd. Some kinda scene had to happen for this. I'm guessing Rosas wanted to do more than worry about the roster. Then Cubes said "no, you worry about the roster only!"

GM quits right before the season starts....

Always a good omen.

In what way did Rosas "make a big splash".

This is a joke, referencing a reported blowup between Nolan Ryan and Jon Daniels.

He didn't impact acquisitions, since we were done by the time he arrived, but he apparently made a lot of changes around the FO and was also present at every practice, game and even pre-pre-season workout. Considering that the roster was basically finished and he only had three months, he made a big splash (but not a big impact.

And thanks for the clarification about the joke. I don't follow MLB so that one went over my head.

Where did you read that he'd made a lot of changes to the FO? I read that he *tried* but was rebuffed.
