Les the reds for a decade. Exec of the year in 1998 Traded for Junior. Deion. Trades away Jeff Shaw. Fired Tony Perez after 44 games. Very bold guy.
Ran the expos and nationals for 6 years after. More bold moves. Controversial guy. Not well liked by peers. Eventually got run out of baseball due to a bonus skimming scandal. International prospects involved. Not sure what was alleged or concluded. I think he resigned and became a talking head.
He’s been on tv and podcasts awhile. Again. Bold and polarizing. Makes lots of early calls about player direction. Often wrong and people love to run his nose in it. Still only 63.
Why bring it up? I knew Chad Bowdens name sounded familiar. He’s Jim’s son
This could be quite a ride for USC. At least the kid grew up in a sports executive family. Dads definitely a piece of work
Interesting...lets hope is son is much better with associates than the old man
