@Yanksland Because pitchers and catchers report on Wednesday

@andrewderrico19 Kepler Conforto O’Neill Profar all signed for significantly lower aav

@andrewderrico19 2021*

@andrewderrico19 Then he should’ve factored that in when he acquired Bellinger at 25M this year

@andrewderrico19 Also Cashman is wasting 33.5M on Stroman and Lemahieu

@andrewderrico19 Hence why Hal gets an F

@amper0627 Also unwilling to sign multiple players with the QO. Just an embarrassing offseason for Hal

@Guy_Smiley_Man @Gbaby8188 With all this said they’ll still likely be a 90 win playoff team because their pitching should be top 5 in the league and the AL is very weak right now, but I can’t genuinely say Hal did everything in his power to put the best possible roster out there for opening day 2025

@BaldPanarin They’d be fine at C if they played Mika or Trocheck at 3C, but with the way they’re currently deploying everyone they need to add cause Brodzinski shouldn’t be 3C on a team that’s trying to push for playoffs

@Gbaby8188 @Guy_Smiley_Man No the only thing ownership respects is not going over the luxury tax

@GregoryrennaZ @Jfc1Ranger There’s no reason not to do it. Smith and Vesey have no future here. Berard/Othmann best case spark the team and they get into playoffs worst case you see what you have for next year

@Gbaby8188 @Guy_Smiley_Man No it’s because of the qualifying offer, same reason why Paul Goldschmidt is here right now instead of Christian Walker

@Guy_Smiley_Man I don’t disagree. Even if Bregman isn’t a perfect fit there’s no reason to not offer him the same deal Chapman got from SF last year when we have a gaping hole at 3B
