    Natives are turning on Trea Turner. Bad year at the plate and in field and 7 more yrs to go on his deal.

    Looks like the Dodgers dodged a bullet here.

    Nope, but things worked out for the best.

    Besides, we'll always have The Slide.

    Died on his birthday.

    Claire basically put together the '88 championship team. Unfortunately, he also traded Pedro for DeShields.

    He did not trade Piazza as I was unaware. Not sure if I forgot this or never really knew it, but the following is from his Wikipedia entry:

    Claire continued as the Dodger general manager through the 1997 season. When Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation, owner of the Fox network and 20th Century Fox purchased the team from the O'Malleys in 1998, officials stated that Claire and field manager Bill Russell would remain in their positions. On May 15, 1998, new Dodger officials made a blockbuster trade without the involvement or knowledge of general manager Claire, a move that was unheard of in baseball at the time. The trade was one of the biggest in Dodger history. The Dodgers traded Mike Piazza and Todd Zeile to the Florida Marlins for Gary Sheffield, Charles Johnson, Jim Eisenreich and Bobby Bonilla. Claire was furious that the new FOX officials would make such a deal as Piazza had been with the organization for over a decade and Zeile had signed for less than market value to be closer to his home in suburban Santa Clarita. Claire, who had full control of player transactions before FOX took over, pulled no punches when he was asked his feeling on the trade. On June 21, 1998, Claire and Russell were both relieved of their duties in what was deemed by those in baseball as the "Sunday Night Massacre." Russell was replaced by Glenn Hoffman as manager, and Claire by Tommy Lasorda as the general manager.

    a really good man
    i corresponded with him a couple of times over the years via e-mail (can’t recall the exact circumstances) and he was always very courteous and humble
    we absolutely do not win in 1988 without him
    RIP indeed

    He gets tied to the Delino for Pedro deal and rightfully so. But what GM hasn't had a deal blow up in his face?

    Fox ownership fucked him by trading Piazza without Claire's knowledge.
