For those that might have missed it, I had a bit of a dilemma in the offseason with Legacy Players. Joe Morgan, Jim Wynn and Pete Rose, specifically.
Joe could have gone to HOU, but that would have bumped the Toy Soldier and I felt Jim was more closely aligned with the Stros than Joe was. So I sent Joe to CIN instead and HOU got Jim. That, unfortunately, meant Pete got bumped. It was an unwinnable situation and in the end I went with my preferred choice.
It looked as if Rose would end up at the Cubs, who had the first free pick, but they didn't pick him and neither did the Sens. So he ended up an A, which with their vibrant new unis and oddball vibe once they head to OAK kinda seems appropriate and their quirky personalities also align. Not sure he'll still be there in a decade or so, but if he is I look forward to his meeting with the Big Red Machine.
He's not wasted any time getting amongst it, old Pete, as you would expect.
