Quite an interesting exchange via press conference b/w Rizzo and Riggle
Riggle: I'm too old to be disrespected
Rizzo: Guess someone doesn't believe in putting team first
I think the team's "success" is more a reflection of the work Rizzo has done than Riggleman, and I think Riggleman basically took advantage-as well as he should-of the winning streak to ask for his option.
Short term Riggleman abruptly re-signing is kinda chaotic for a team on a hot streak, though. It's not like this was a power struggle b/w the two. Not that I know of at least. I mean I don't think Rizzo was telling the Lerners either he goes or I go.
