I have to agree that #1 is the first interpretation I came up with, although I disagree that one would "easily" come to that conclusion. Irregardlessly*, that is an unbelievably stupid thing to say, if he really believes it. Getting rid of a player who's a bad fit for your team is as big a victory as winning the World Series. In the immortal words of Noah, "Riiiiiiiight".

As I said, only a Yankee fan could say something that dumb and mean it.

*Included to reflect the dumbness of the original comment.

Yeah you're right. The comment was obviously meant to be taken literally and without doubt there was no intent to be humorous, sarcastic, sardonic, cynical or just plain silly.

Thanks for pointing that out, Rainman.

That's another unannounced clarification. Seems to be a lot of that going around these days.

BS.

Information is "leaked" at just the right time to benefit the leakers.
