Rays resignation - withdrawal

[Rays GM (Donavan)]

Enough is enough.

I promised myself after last years attack from Dan, that I would not let it happen again, so thank you to all GM's for an enjoyable (mostly) 11 years.

[Former Angels GM (Mike C.)]

Sorry that happened last year, whatever it was, didn't pay attention much in here last year.

Thank you for a lot of things, take care.

[Nationals GM (Preston)]

I hope you reconsider and stay in the league.

This goes for everyone. A lot has been said here in the last 72 hours and I don’t mean to diminish anything because we need to collectively address it so we can properly move forward in a constructive way, but let’s remember how much joy this league has brought us and continues to bring us.

PS - I hope that we can keep private conversations private though. I don’t see the merit of bringing this public. Unless someone is harassing someone else for matters unrelated to specific conflicts here (race, gender, identity, etc., which I don’t think we’ve ever had any problems with), then I don’t see the merit for making it public and it’s very disappointing.

[Rockies GM (Dan)]

Wow, Donovan.

He harassed me for 36 hours, I reach out to you, you enable him, make excuses for his behavior. Then pretend that you're blameless and a good guy while airing private messages.

[Rays GM (Donavan)]

I am not going to reply to the stuff that has already happened, except to say that I hope it never happens again.

I have had just over a month to cool my jets, and feel like returning to my role as GM of the Rays, firstly because I for the most part do enjoy this league, and secondly was enjoying the idea of rebuilding/retooling my roster earlier this season.

I am not prepared at this time to recommence the free agency, as my weekends have got busy in recent weeks.
