How many teams has Bradley played for since his infamous meltdown at Dodger Stadium?
That many GM's.

No, I'm not asking how many GMs would deal with Bradley (your answer, by the way, shows Hendry isn't some lone lunatic). How many GM's are going to base what they give the Cubs back in return on whether the opposing GM is saying nice things or mean things about the player? You think someone trading for Bradley isn't going to be doing their due dilligence? You think they aren't going to ask players in the clubhouse about him and find out EXACTLY how they feel about Bradley? You think if Hendry just acts like nothing is wrong (and I'm sure if he did that no one would give him shit about letting the inmates run the asylum), the opposing team is just going to assume everything is hunky dory? It's absurd.
About as absurd as the idea that Cub fans were OK with Bradley exactly up to the point that Hendry suspended him.

I wish that I believed in Fate. I wish I didn't sleep so late. I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders.
