He’s at least pivoting somewhat.
Everything that could go wrong did since the closer blew out his knee celebrating.

Verlander was Cy Young and he’s gotten mortal quickly but 2yrs at market is painful but not Giancarlo levels of painful.

See if he pours money into the farm system since Atlanta will be good/great for another 5 years just off what they have control over.

I want to say Cohen said the long term plan was to build up the farm system after attempting to go all in. -- nm - Tim Jul 28, 10:40
I think SD is about to sell hard, possibly including Soto. - David Jul 28, 09:57 10
- They thought that was their window…and let’s be honest - before the last 12 months, Soto was at worst the 3rd most “all-Time potential” guy in basebal - Will Hunting Jul 28, 10:01 8

    - I look at their team stats, and there's no reason they should be this bad...they have at least 3 guys on pace for 6+ WAR - Will Hunting Jul 28, 10:13 6
      - Alex Anthopoulos has quietly assembled a superteam of baseball quants, and the one thing he prioritizes the most is clubhouse fit. - David Jul 28, 10:30 5
        
        Plus having a few of the guys take robbery-level contracts to facilitate payroll space. - Will Hunting Jul 28, 10:34 2
        
        I feel a lot worse about Albies. I honestly wish we'd fix it. -- nm - David Jul 28, 10:37 1
        
        Albies is an underpay, but where he was at the time...it could have gone the other way within reason. - Will Hunting Jul 28, 10:49
        
        What if you don’t use analytics or care about the clubhouse? Sounds like a winning team, right? - spamlet Jul 28, 10:34 1
        
        The fact that y'all couldn't unlock Giolito is maddening. -- nm - David Jul 28, 10:35
