No one here has said this, so i don't know where you get it.
Look at it this way:
If we re-sign Bay, excellent, but Holliday is the better player, and i don't know about you, but if it's gonna cost me a lot of money, might as well go for the better player, since they'll both hit the FA market anyway.
I don't think Felix makes sense, to be honest, what at least i'm trying to imply is that if the FO has the chance to turn this lineup into a juggernaut that can match the Yanks' without having to completely deplete the farm system, they should go for it.
I hate sounding like a douche, but we wouldn't even be having this conversation if the FO hadn't let Cashman f*** them up the ass yet again.
