The fact that Dylan Covey went from being on the 25 man roster and was counted on to contribute last season to no longer being on our 40 man roster speaks volumes about how this offseason has gone.

Please, please, please DON'T get him started!

No chance he does this. He would then enter free agency next year with a qualifying offer attached. Ain't happenin'!

That didnt hold up well...

Will Harris?

Probably because we already have a couple of ~$10M/year bullpen pieces in Herrera and Colome. Sign Harris or similar and we'll be paying our bullpen more than our rotation. How cool is that? I'm actually all for Harris, Hudson, Stammen, or Cishek. Also would trade for Diaz, which I have a sneaky suspicion Hahn is working on as we speak.

That doesnt get the year of control back. Dont see May 1st happening

Defensive first, no bat catchers are everywhere. You can find one for about 50 cents. Worrying about Grandal getting hurt is not worth worrying about.

Make up your mind. Do you want to sign generational players and build the best team in MLB or do you want to sign 1B/DH for less than $29M as you said later? Best players in the game at 1B and DH are gonna cost you a hell of alot more than $29M. We sign Smoak for $5M and you'd be the first guy to crucify Hahn (and me and everybody else would be right behind you). You wanna add Puig after saying we need to build the best team in MLB? Absolute joke, he might be about the 8th best available right fielder and probably not in the top 20 RF in the game. It's easy to have hindsight and pick apart every move, but bottom line: LOOK AT THESE UPGRADES Robert > Engel Mazara > Cordell, etc Madrigal > Yolmer Grandal > McCann McCann > Castillo Encarnacion > Alonso Keuchel > Nova Gio > Covey/Detwiller/Santana/Banuelos

2020 90+Wins? > 2019 72 Wins Robert > Engel Mazara > Cordell Madrigal > Yolmer Grandal > McCann McCann > Castillo Encarnacion > Alonso Keuchel > Nova Gio > Covey/Detwiller/Santana/Banuelos

That's how good teams build their rosters. Can never have too many good players.
