Ownership shouldn’t be giving a single dime to Shatkins. They should both be fired. Hand the reigns to a new regime. New guys should pay or trade Vlad and/or Bo. Based on that you either push more money into the team or you rebuild around new pieces.
Failure front office.
Burnes was the last free agent that could’ve changed the perception of this offseason. They blew it. I do not want Santander for 3+ years when after year 1 we lose Bo and Vlad and have him as our “best hitter”. This management duo is getting embarrassed and hopefully the fans make that even more...
Zion would be a high risk home run swing if I’ve ever seen one. Probably ends up with egg in the face of whatever team takes the risk. I’d fully support it here if the price was right.
Pros for Zion here that could right his ship:
Teammates with RJ
High upside team around him
Maybe getting to...
I agree. If we aren’t paying him and Vlad they should move both. SD moved Soto with 1 year remaining. Astros just moved Tucker with 1 year left. We see this type of move being made by proactive teams.
Too bad it’s come to this because I think we should pay them both.
Shatkins gotta go.
They’ve butchered this roster so bad. No position prospects have provided quality depth behind Vlad and Bo. None of the pitching prospects have developed into anything meaningful. How are these guys employed? Spending 200+ million to field a non contender is some seriously impressive incompetence.
They shouldn’t be in charge of this but if you aren’t resigning Vlad or Bo we should move them. Use that money to replace them best you can.
Hate typing that out. What a failure this management group has been.
If they give anyone a 7 year deal I’ll be surprised. The surprise being that ownership is giving this management group the ability to hamstring the next management group with that long of a deal.
Again, sign Soto and everything they’ve ever done is forgiven. Otherwise this team has too many...
