Not gonna debate on whether Rogers is a good or bad owner, but to attempt to draw an equivalency between him and Ballard is gross (meaning large) hyperbole.Very bad for Toronto Sports. Ed Rogers is one of the most incompetent sports team owners in Toronto History. Comparable to Harold Ballard, he is directly responsible for the continuing mismanagement of the Blue Jays. The Rogers Centre recent renos have alienated long term season ticket holders in favour of elitist subscribers and more expensive everything. The product on field is crap and upper management supported by this clown has never had a successful season in 17 years.
On this there is no question. Rogers' letting AA go for Shatkins was akin to Ballard dumping Gregory. The circumstances were different and Rogers' decision was more business based than Ballard's, but the end results were pretty much the same.However, I am angry by the misdirection of the Blue Jays franchise under Shapiro and Atkins and I am afraid for the future management of MLSE sports teams under the same stewardship.
