Here is an example of a Hall of Fame executive at his best:
When Pat Gillick was the Phillies general manager and building powerhouse teams in the late 2000s, he traded one of his most talented starting pitchers for a journeyman reliever.
Gillick didn’t care what he got back. By the 2005 offseason, he wanted nothing to do with Vicente Padilla, and not just because the former All-Star right-hander was coming off two down seasons in a row. The Nicaraguan was moody, he didn’t talk to the media and he was a very bad fit on a ballclub loaded with young talent.
