$780K is the MLB minimum salary for 2026.  If Getz can’t spend that where he wants, there is truly no hope until Jerry is gone.

Haven't we all agreed to that. JR only approves spending when they look like they are close to competing. Thats not happening yet. Plus with the lockout looming, he isnt spending this year.

Must be just to get all the pitchers reps. Thought it was usually just 4 tho and then a coach would help out. Little spring curiosity maybe I'll ask someone if I get to a game.

Show case for Lee.

And even then, it’s just in areas with suppressed markets like bullpen.

Which, again, is the entire point. Jerry is absolutely willing to hurt the team to save a few bucks.  That hasn't changed with Chris Getz, Rick Hahn, Kenny Williams or any other hire.

It hasn't changed. I disagree with saving a few bucks as opposed to staying within revenues but the overall concept is the same.

It's a few bucks to advance the franchise.  It is an absolute failure to do otherwise.

You can't have that precipitous fall in revenues and simultaneously hardly growing the franchise valuation during that time (certainly since 2006) and then simply blame it on the stadium that you basically built yourself.
