Btw, you can't go from 100+ wins to 51 in two seasons unless you tank on purpose. He stays down there for awhile, collects his high draft picks and probably some IFA's along the way and starts the process all over again, gets good - wins a WS and tanks on purpose again. I never want an owner like that in my worlds. 
Seems sort of like the Miami Marlins.  
Pretty much.

Yep.  Good riddance, tankie-boy!

If you're going away, I hope some of that recovered time is spent learning how to properly use the apostrophe.

Oh, c'mon.   If he really wanted to say "goodbye" to the people he knew, he'd have done it via sitemail/trade chat.   If he wanted to make a general commentary on the game and/or make a show of his departure, you do it in the forums.

As I said, none of these "I'm done" threads end well.
