I love the move. The big offense has gotten us nowhere the past few years. Let this be the start of a rebuilding or retooling, whatever you want to call it. I'm willing to bite the bullet for a couple of years if it means bigger payoff down the road. Hell any fan who went through the Mel Hall, Stump Merrill years wouldn't mind this. I been hungry before, hell I remember when Matt Nokes was our only all star rep, I can be hungry again.
And please, it wasn't about the fans. He got plenty of love in Texas and Seattle.
The guy is probably the greatest overall slugger in the game today. and I thank him for the two regular season MVP's. I wish ill luck on whatever team signs him to his $300M contract the same way I laughed and wished ill luck on the Rangers when they signed him to that $250M contract.
