Yep not having the money to finish off the offseason despite having an average payroll is a kick in the balls to the fan base. It’s not surprising though.
I’m not going to spend the next 3 years freaking out about losing Giolito. Between the new CBA, possibly a new owner and Giolito not exactly having a long track record of success, a lot fan chance over the next 36 months.
Mendick can cover 2nd but it’s just scary how many slap hitters they can very easily end up putting in the lineup. 4 of the 5 you mentioned have had injury issues throughout their career.
