You can still waste money on a bunch of crap, even if it’s not $100 million. Like caufield mentioned, Getz essentially burned up $30 million with last year’s offseason and set the loss record. If you don’t understand that, I can’t help you.
Bring in Canario if the Pirates DFA him and let’s start playing some young guys. Rojas should sit home and eat ice cream while he earns his $3.5 million. There is zero reason to play these vets.
But the fact remains that they are televising three sub .500 teams. Where is the market for that? I think you are sorely mistaken about the kind of money Comcast will earn signing a deal with Jerry and the Wirtz family. Their teams all suck and they are both pretty terrible owners.
Also, Elko is a few months younger than Vaughn. He isn’t some great prospect.
These three teams are perfect for free OTA viewing. But I have no idea why Comcast would even want to pay up to televise this losing crap if they aren’t making money from it.
I would be surprised if he can play the position but f*** it, throw Workman at SS full-time and see what he can do. I see no reason not to. We already know that Amaya can’t hit major league pitching.
$3.5 million? Getz already wasted more than that on Slater and Tauchman. Getz has wasted millions on garbage the past two offseasons, carrying on the tradition from Hahn. All those million here and there wasted on garbage vets adds up. But this is just par for the course.
A Rule 5 pick acquired for cash considerations led to the DFA of our starting DH, and it’s actually an improvement.
But this is cash going the wrong way. Jerry can’t be too happy.
This thread is incorrect. According to ESPN, we actually acquired Gabe Workman. 🤣

Because they did a comprehensive piece on the entire story, and it takes time to write a large article unless you are just using AI. Look at the dates on all of the links they sourced. I mean, they even included the tweeted photo of Jerry with the FCC chairman which we all saw two weeks ago.
