Unqualified GM: Bringing Fantasy to Reality (kind of)

Introduction
Welcome to the Unqualified GM Blog To anyone joining me and even giving this the light of day, I thank you very much. I appreciate with all my heart anyone taking their time to look at my stuff, regardless if they agree or really care all that much. I love sports a lot. That certainly…

Aging Like Oak
Here is the third and final part of the Oakland Athletics series and there is a lot of ground left to cover before reaching a final product. Last part focused mainly on the immediate future and what that looks like for the A’s. This part is going to have a long-term approach and will cover…

The Main Attraction
Welcome to part two of the Orlando Magic series. I’ve made the decision in recent days that the basketball one’s I do are going to be just two parts due to the number of players on the team being smaller. Basketball also doesn’t have the depth of player development that baseball does, and therefore most…

Monsters Unleashed
Here we are at part three of the Chicago Bears rebuild. This has been a more uneventful one in terms of creativity. In large part due to what I mentioned, in that the Bears are in the time of the year where they have to make moves. With that being said, this final part will…

Laying the Foundation
I would say this is where the fun begins, but with the A’s that may not be the case. As I write this on April 17th the A’s have a record of 3-14. In a way ironic that it matches the Chicago Bears season record from this past NFL season. For them it resulted in…

Where’s the Magic?
I’ve always felt like the Orlando Magic is a name better suited for a minor league baseball team than it is an NBA franchise. Maybe that perception would change if they were able to find success for any sort of longevity. Don’t get it confused, the team has had its moments. They began in the…

Lay of the Land
Man this is an interesting one to write. The Athletics, despite what modern perception may be, are one of the more prominent franchises in the history of Major League Baseball. They sit behind just the Yankees and Cardinals in terms of all-time world series championships, with nine, even winning four in their time in the…

The State of Chi-Town
The Bears are the team that has the best chance to provide some real answers about their future in the time this blog is written. The team has pieces that seem to have a lot of upside, primarily Justin Fields, Jaquan Brisker, Chase Claypool, Darnell Mooney and Teven Jenkins. They also have LOTS of cap…
