A Corbin Burnes FA deal would have killed them. Roman Anthony was a huge deal. Basallo just needs to be a decent DH and he'll earn that contract (at least outside of JR's world). Elias is a prospect hoarder, but is that him or ownership budget limitations from locking your own guys up (I don't know)? Whoever is fucking it up is going to see Gunnar walk out the door when they've had ample time to lock him up and he's not the only one.

They lost all the leverage when Gunnar was a Top 5-10 player in baseball last year...

The point I was trying to make is that it wasn’t really indicative of anything. Rojas is a terrible hitter and only had value due to his glove. It was simply a bad signing by a bad GM. $3.5 million up in smoke.

Terrible? Hyperbole. Rojas was having a good spring training before the toe injury. That is a thing. $3.5M for a veteran is nothing.

All the millions that Getz has spent on scrubs adds up.
