In this era of deep analytics, hopefully that's good enough to get you into the HOF, because you deserve to be there.

I respect the loyalty you showed the city. In an era where that's uncommon, it was cool to be a part of.

That said, there's a piece of me that wishes you hadn't been so loyal. The M's waste a STELLAR career.

I hope you leave the M's now and latch on as a late season add to a title contender. You never got to pitch in a playoff game and you deserve that. You deserve a lot more but you deserve that at minimum.

Your reign has ended.

LONG LIVE THE KING!
