i dont disagree with any of this.
the only thing i can say is that IMO the only way we can sign Mookie to a LTC is if we reset the luxury tax. we have to shed payroll from this current roster in order to reset. so while i would cheer and hope for a mid 90 win season from the current team, i just dont see how we can have the current team as-is and sign mookie next offseason. we need to shed payroll prior to ASB.
