That whole scene there at the end really killed me. It was not made clear to me why the protagonist made the choice he made. I wonder how he feels watching that scene in the film every time he attends a screening.

He was rejecting the hoity-toity New Englanders and their fancy tea served in fancy porcelain teacups. However yes I'd agree that wasn't sufficient explanation. Maybe there are more details in the book?
doesn't matter. should have jumped ship. (whatever his motivations for not doing so, the movie makes the lesson clear: it says in the final frames, that he's still trying to win the last game of the season with the A's... Why would they say that? What response would that possible elicit other than "should have gone over to Boston"?) I think the lesson of the movie is clear enough for me :)
real life also has a habit of letting people in similar choices make the right one after seeing someone make the wrong one. The lesson of the film is pretty clear, sorry. Not it's dramatic arc, just its lesson. At least to me. But hey, if you want to keep chasing that last season game on an impossible budget, go ahead bro.
