I don't think that. I'm not spewing hot takes here. 

Fuck Jerry. 

Fuck Tony. 

They should be going all in in free agency, learning from the Cubs by not trading their best young players for rentals/short term solutions. 

Now the only way they're going to be able to add to this team is by trading what's left of their minor league depth. 

The window has now been significantly shortened, so just fucking trade the kids and try to win one title in the next 3 seasons. 

If they won't even do that......then whatever. I almost wish I didn't like baseball. This is the second time Jerry fucking sabotaged his own team's championship window. Fuck him.

Im really disgusted with reinsdorf, hes a piece of shit

I feel like I've been let down personally which is never a good feeling as a fan.  I don't like JR but I figured he was at least a fairly smart businessman to the end.  Now he's just cost himself a lot of money and it's clear his cognitive decline (and why Michael is running the Bulls) is real.

This is so fuckin embarrassing.

They don't have enough pitching. They've fucked it up so much that the contracts don't matter. 

Is there not a board that can force jerry to sell the team?

Bernstein went over it on his show and said they don’t have anything in their bylaws that other investors or board members could force JR’s hand.

Seriously. Guy is 84. He shouldn't be making decisions.

Jerry is 85. Is it possible he's lost his marbles? Can someone else in the ownership group force him to step down and sell his shares?

And unfortunately this is not likely to impact other owners bottom lines in such a way they would oust him.

Not sure why you are picking on Jack here.

He was under the influence of what? Geritol?

I mean, it's not a guarantee that they've fucked it up that badly, but it's very possible. You want a bit of optimism? There it is. 

Let's see how the offseason plays out.

I'm trying not to do that shit anymore, bro. 

Is Jerry actually senile? I’m starting to wonder if he is. 

Maybe it was just me but them shelling out money for Stroman never even entered my mind.
