The owner would rather jump off a cliff before he includes cash in a deal.

I cant wait for ownership to change. The vampire who owns us now needs to go away.

Hopefully sooner than later.

We let this man create his own offseason program that was featured on his instagram with lots and lots of eyewash and eating from what we could tell. The rudderless ship allowed him to regress and a very promising prospect is now broken and another team will fix him.

The one problem with the internet in general is the abstraction that takes place where we are anonymous entities that interact with other anonymous entities. It sometimes removes the humanity of it all. We forget that these usernames are people with lives, loves, hopes, dreams, families and real world issues. I never met Alex in person but interacted with him on here. He was a good poster and seemed like a generally good human being. I am so sorry for the loss to his family, loved ones and his friends. It seems like he impacted and inspired those around him. That is the hallmark of a good man. God Bless him and may he receive external peace.

Poles has to go. He has missed so many times on high draft picks. Too many projects. Too many guys on the OL t hat remind him of Poles as a player.

Well we know Hagan Smith and Noah Schultz's future then. Oh I see you are about to make some money that isnt going to work out for Jerry, well let me change the color of your sox.

all catcher team.

If they replace Poles, it will take a bit for Warren and the "search" committee to hire his replacement. After Bill Polian tells them who to hire we will be left with the left overs. Rinse and Repeat, the bears bear everytime.

Tony Larussa is the glue for this. The same Dave Stewart that allowed TLR to hire a vet to be their analytics guy and traded Shelby Miller for Dansby Swanson? That guy. Stewart would move this franchise to Nashville in a heartbeat. Tony is basically Thanos.

This approach to hitting in the offseason is not going to get it going. Plus the slappy foxy boxing is probably not enough for explosive movements. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=849011016183367 Dude got paid is will return to form just in time for his free agent year. Then he will turn it on. This is a tale as old as time.

With this fucked up owner he might just hire the janitor because he liked the way he smiled at him. I expect Grady to get the job just be cause thats how we do things here.

Well this would of been good to have ahead of this years draft. We seem to gauge our drafts at times on the 40 man and the MLB roster. We selected Smith in part to replace Crochet sooner than later in the rotation. All things being equal a high level bat that might of been drafted say a slot later would of been a better fit if we hang on to Crochet. Our offense is the largest issue and the only way to fix that in the short term is to unload talent that can get multiple high level players for a cost controlled high level player such as Crochet. So if we sign him its great for the pitching staff but not so good for the offense. I have zero faith that we will sign anyone of consequence in free agency. And really, who of consequence in free agency is signing here for less than overpay and we know Jerry doesnt do that. So we might be in baseball hell for a few years with a great pitching staff only to waste that time with a horrific offense.

Eventually this asshole is going to take his permanent dirt nap. f*** this guy.
