This is indeed a baseball board. However, the game of baseball is played by individuals that have demons, which unfortunately, exist in the public realm. Trades, conflicts and other personnel decisions are often about these real-world problems that we all have personal testaments to. It seems like dogma to ruin a naturally occurring discussion based on the ideal that someone thinks it isn't relevant when the participants think that it is.
