If they are serious about winning, their 2023 budget should be right up to the Luxury Tax of $233 mill. Maybe go over for a year with money coming off the books after this year.
I'm just done watching for the year. Last Tuesday was the last game I watched for this season.
I may have Thursday and next Wednesday's day games on in the background while working. But none of my free time will go to watching the remaining games.
I was thinking the same. Maybe he would want to opt out for whatever reason it may be: the atmosphere of this team, wanting to go play back out West, whatever. Not crazy to think he could land a 1 year $5 million deal somewhere.
It’s not time for another rebuild. Replace the manager, coaching staff, figure out if Abreu is coming back and if so, break up the logjam and sign an actual OF. Shed whatever bad money you can (probably none of it but gotta try).
Yeah it’s definitely not 100% on LaRussa. Players should be trying hard and giving full effort no matter who the manager is.
Changes need to happen in the front office and player evaluation as well as the manager.
