Look if we had $150 million in payroll and freeing up that money meant adding a player to a playoff contender, sure, it makes sense. But for a dumpster fire with no payroll to speak of? It is negligence.
If we do this we are the dumbest franchise in baseball.
We have $50 million on payroll on the books next year including Benny, and literally only his deal in 26 and 27. There is absolutely no need to prolonge the rebuild by taking a shitty return to move this deal. None. It's cheap and stupid. What would we do with that money anyway?
It is just baseball stupid and an insult to the fanbase.
