I disagree. It's been a couple of average years. We are not use to that so it stands out. We need a new manager and for whatever reason our owner loves the guy.
They did get Ozuna this off season. That was not the incremental move we are use to from the FO. We have always had a top 10 payroll. We were 14 last year and this year 12th so far. If we are average again this year and they dont spend the money on one of those big time FA next year, I'll join ya and Ocity in your depression.
We need more offense in 2019 but our pitching in 2019 will be playoff caliber.
I'm going to spend the afternoon in the Florida sunshine. 77 degrees with the ocean breeze blowing in watching my team. It's still enjoyable to me. [Reply]

That's not enough. They don't even have a 3 hole hitter. [Reply]

He's already getting paid. They had the best offer on the table for him and the Marlins preferred to send him to StL, but the guy in control, much like a free agent, said no.

Are you really this obtuse?
Are we really using 2, really just 1 instance to prove something?
Heyward didn't want to be the alpha so he went to Chicago to blend in and get paid. I'm not sure that's the best example but it works.
Stanton was never going to come to the Midwest. Didn't matter. Again, maybe it's the new norm. I'm skeptical. [Reply]
