Hahn trading Madrigal (pre arb), Heuer (pre arb), and future Guardians ace Pilkington (milb deal) has led to Kimbrel (16 million) and Harrison (5 million) and an inability to improve the club with money.
its almost like the FO is having their own Impractical Jokers skit. Hahn lost a challenge.
Jerry: Now tell the fans that we signed Leury Garcia for 3 years and 11 million
Kenny: Great, now tell them we signed Harrison for $5 million and a MiLB pitcher for $3 million!!
Jerry: Call it an offseason, boy these fans are idiots!
*both laugh hysterically as Hahn breaks the news to reporters*
if this is what the market will be for Conforto then Hahn is doing a good job not biting, go get a SP from Oakland and call it an offseason. Man do I wish we got Harper a few years back.
i voted 5-6, you cant ignore the bullpen upgrades and this offense as long as its healthy. I feel like the SP will be a weakness this season, they really ran out of gas last year
Mind boggling to me how this is how the FO thinks will put them over the top. The bullpen is not why we got absolutely embarrassed in the playoffs. Overpaid C tier free agents arent going to overcome the better teams in the AL. This offseason so far is beyond disappointing. Other AL teams are getting better, you can argue we are worse.
Time is ticking Hahn, you get way too much praise for the mediocre job you have done in the FA market.
This is a great post and sums up my thoughts on Sheets. With how often our guys get hurt I like keeping Sheets on the roster this year and seeing if there is something to his offensive game thats worth a longer look. His approach at the plate was definitely not like Palka's, and he can provide a much needed lift to the left side of the batters box. Anyone who watched his atbats last season was impressed.
