Yes, he is. While he doesn’t impose himself openly on the front office, he’s clearly bigger than the GM.

As a Rangers fan, I am very disappointed to hear about Reagins resigning. He has been a big help to the Rangers the past few years. Thanks Tony for all your help.

One of those fallen ones, that’s what. Hide your daughters.

According to SI.com Reagins is staying with the organization.

Don’t forget that along with the horrendous Wells trade he also forced out scouting director Eddie Bane last season who drafted about half of their current team.

Hide the women and children.
Seriously how did this guy get the contract he did? and how did he not get it from Theo Epstien?

From the oppisite coast this seems like a good thing, but I wonder what Angles fans think.

what kind of Angel?

Not one of Charlie’s Angels that’s for sure.

Reagins takes the credit (or blame) as GM for the Vernon Wells trade, but Arte Moreno ultimately had to sign off on squandering $60 million that could have been deployed across the 25 man roster. At least Reagins can cut his loss while leaving the team holding the bag. Good move Tony.

Well, that certainly was creative and aggressive, Orange County style. First Burrito King shut down. Now this. My gut feeling is that the Angels will now spare no expense to pry Alex Rios from the White Sox. The guy is all potential.

You’ll be glad to know that last time I saw Wells at Kauffman he drew the majority of my witty and snarky heckling.

And so it has come to this. Another GM bites the dust because of Vernon. First Riccardi, now Reagins. There. I told you. I told you all. Vernon Wells is EVIL. Evil incarnate. He will come for you. Soon. That Wells won't die, in the nightmare that won't end. He cannot be bargained with. That Wells is out there! He can't be bargained with. He can't be reasoned with. He doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And he absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are miserable watching him play! Yeah. He's an Angel now. But, I put it to you, what kind of Angel? One of the bad ones, that's what.

I ask this in ignorance: Is he one of the managers who actually has some power over the front office’s moves?

There is no way Scioscia wasn’t involved in getting rid of Napoli. I expect Scioscia still thinks its a good idea.
