Seems obvious.

Take Jerry with him.

I don't know about the vampire stuff, but it would be very WS to get the #4 pick.

They believe that people who don't pay attention are more important than those who do. Got it.

He might be the quickest way to respectability if our payrolls for the next three years are under $100 million.

Lost on me what that "dirty work" entails. Union contracts and stadium negotiations would probably have more credibility with Ishiba speaking. Who wants to negotiate with someone who won't be living with the consequences?

Jerry said he was fast-tracking the path back to respectability. I like most of how Getz has approached the rebuild. Now it's time to give up the resources needed to compete. Get some relief pitching to win those close games in the late innings. We would be over .500 by adding 4 above-average pitchers. One starter and 3 relievers. Once Montgomery and Teel arrived, they were watchable. Between B. Montgomery and our minor league pitchers, we are not that far away.

We all know that...what's your point?

I'm not mad. I'm disgusted that we don't hear that Ishiba is running the show and what his plans are. There is no reason not to shoot straight with the fans. If Ishiba continues to let JR front the team...he sure isn't very good at PR.

Agreed! That's my point.

Jerry would not need to sell any shares to give up the managing partner title. Therefore, no estate issue was solved by this arrangement. The fans would certainly prefer knowing that Ishiba is calling the shots.

He seemed nice.

Who are they? Jerry said that Getz was the fast track back to respectable baseball on the day he hired him.

Again...the organization pays people to do this analysis. Most of us have very limited coverage of all players in both leagues. I am advocating for Jerry to free up some resources so Getz and company can do their jobs.

It's only important if I'm the GM.
