Real reason Wash left--they say

[LibraryLady]

Shortly afterwards, Texas Rangers General Manager Jon Daniels held a press conference. However, JD did not answer many questions pertaining to the details of why Washington abruptly resigned, except to say that it was not drug related. Which have many of us trying to understand what made Ron Washington resign.

Today, I have learned, via a source close to the situation, that Ron Washington’s resignation was due to an argument between himself and Jon Daniels.

Earlier this week JD informed Wash that he was going to shut Yu Darvish down for the rest of the season. According to the source, Ron Washington told Daniels that he didn’t agree with that because if Darvish is healthy he should still pitch and not quit on the team.

This lead to a screaming match near the batting cages and the two took the argument inside.

Later that day, after the game, Ron Washington was the last person in the clubhouse and wrote on the whiteboard: Team Meeting Tomorrow at 3:00pm.

Friday afternoon at 2:00pm, Ron Washington handed Jon Daniels his resignation.

At 3:00pm, Wash met with the players that were there in the clubhouse to let them know he was resigning.

I saw Daniels make his statement.
He didn't mention drugs. He said that the resignation was not related to the Ranger's performance. It was family related.

EIther that day, or the next, Daniels said, "Wash has given me permission to say it is not about drugs." (or something like that)

Sept 5th ABC / ESPN reported this;

General manager Jon Daniels said Washington's resignation is "not drug-related."

"We don't want to talk about any of the specifics," Daniels said. "Ron's given us permission to acknowledge this was not drug-related."

The rumor now is that Wash sexually assaulted Jon Daniels.

Why try to stonewall everyone on this. It's going to have to come out. I would think it's better not to let it leak out like this...

I guess you've never had to lawyer up.
