"Is Cease going to be call-"
"I'm sorry, can I interrupt you for a second? I just wanted to say the rumors are true: I am the worst manager in baseball. Wanted to let everyone know. Thanks"
Amazing.
I'm somewhere in the middle. I think Machado would have been worth it, but I'd rather have nothing then fill the roster with overpaid low talent free agents.
And, honestly, when it comes to "free agent blunders", it's far better to screw up the way Hahn and Company did with Machado than to do what the Cubs did with Heyward and Yu Darvish.
Those are massive screw ups.
Also, are we counting Luis Robert, the best performer in the minors basically for any team as a free agent signing? I mean, it wasn't a draft pick.
And JR opened the checkbook for him.
