I remember last year and the absolute blow out that occurred with everyone ( myself included ) flipping their lids when we lost out on Manny.
It was unforgivable, irrevocable, and there wasn’t another plan.
However, since we lost out on him just one short year ago... we now have Moncada rising and solidified at the same position as him. We have a potential stud all-star Dustin Peoria lite coming up and one of the best catching tandems in all of baseball.
1.) I think we can recover from missing out on Wheeler, even though I don’t know how it will happen yet.
2.) The vision this front office had for the rebuild has been going well, even with some unexpected turns on the road to contention.
Moncada + Madrigal + Grandal > Manny + Moncada + Castro
We hope.
I will also say that in my personal opinion, this Wheeler miss could sting more than Manny on the basis of potential need filled and also because we actually had the highest offer.
???? > Wheeler
Let’s continue to hope.
