    And like honestly I’d be surprised if they signed anyone over like 5 mil per year

    All good points but they don't have a salary crunch, most of their core is pre-arb and they shed Arrieta and Lackey. We still have A-Gon, Kazmir and MehCarthy on the books

    Kazmir and McCarthy were this FO’s problem. Wholly avoidable.

    This is the era of super teams. The 2006 Cardinals and #3in5 Giants type teams aren't going to win championships anymore. We will be facing off against powerhouses in the playoffs every season. We could win 98 games next year and returning to the World Series isn't a given. Could be a long time.

    That's not even a contention but it's been 2 years so it cannot be undone and they can't seem to trade them so why harp on it.

    This team is gonna rely on Pedro “worth a shit” Baez and yimi “my arm will probably fall off” Garcia as their main pen options next season. Fucking cheapskates.

    He pitched better with a faster pace is all I am saying. He has the stuff so getting the ball and throwing it without thinking could be a help. Must wait and see obviously but I still believe in him. Shoot me if you want but he's my new project.

    My sources told me.

    I know no one will reveal their sources but I will. Mine is common sense. It’s more of if they aren’t giving Morrow two years, why would they give any of those guys the longer deals and higher AAVs that they will surely command

    It’s my 24 years of pessimism and this front office hasn’t signed anyone outside of the organization to any big deals, at all
