And the Cubs still aren't running a Top 10 payroll this year...dumped Bellinger basically just to save money (although it did turn out they had plenty of offense). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T R U Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Oh it’s 100% the owner. We got the best uniforms, Sox logo is iconic, it’s FN Chicago. On the flip side, the owner refuses to pay market rates, they don’t make serious hires, far behind the times of today’s game. JR is killing this franchise. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is something toxic that players don't want to reveal. I honestly think organizations get a reputation of "losers" and dysfunctional. That perception, which ins baseball's case is easy to confirm based on W-L records, gets around. Players that do come to the Sox know all about it and when they actually see what's happening that has got to impact them mentally, often to where if they go someplace else they just can't produce anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 10 teams got zero Not Play For votes. 9 teams got zero Play For votes. 2 teams got 30, or more, Not Play For votes. 0 teams got crossover voting. 0 players selected Will Venable to play for, and 0 also selected him as not play for.

caulfield12 Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Detroit still has to fight with that negative perception as a city...weird part is how that doesn't seem to impact CLE as much. Mariners had that extended run without playoffs until recently and suppressed offensive numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
