Yeah, pass for sure.

I’d believe it. Nobody wanted the gig.

My guess is Theo suggests things and Breslow already thinks he knows everything. I dunno. Either way you’re right…it’s NOT working. When nobody will work for this owner you have to hire asst GMs to be president of BB ops. He’s clearly in over his head with a number of things. If he was head of all pitching and development I’d be ok with it. But this position is too much for him.

I get this. Unless you make the big moveS you need this year to be a legit WS condenser, which they are not, then you sell and look to 2027. We have a horrible home record and also one against above 500 teams. That doesn’t win anything. we know they won’t spend to go over the next luxury tax threshold and they need a few pieces to be taken seriously. All this is providing they can jump 7-8 teams to get the final spot without making any big moves. Tall order. they would have to go 625+ the rest of the way to even match last year. They have a 409 winning %. You don’t fix that with one RH bat. if Henry can get Theo to “advise” Breslow at the deadline then we could end up with a bit of a bidding war for some of our guys. I understand we have folks who think rentals won’t get much, and I understand that to a point. But the deadline is different if it works out right. We got some important pieces that are performing. Gray and Chapman. It all depends on how important the player is to the team and how important winning a ring is to an owner/ front office. my only worry is Breslow leading the charge. He’s a bafoon and would get fleeced.

Agree. A floor is more important for a competitive balance. My original point was just that. If the6 want a cap then they need a floor too. I don’t think billionaires should get and cash for not spending. Sounds unfair to owners, where in some cases are worth less, but put more of a % of their money earned from the team back into their team.

Just shows that if there’s a cap there should be a floor. They are more competitive at just 120M. But that will probably never happen. Even though that’s how you get better teams and more competition.

A 415 winning % , regardless of being 4.5 out of the wildcard, is NOT a serious world series contender. Breslow has proved that his pitching program is pretty good. Everything else’s he’s done pretty much sucks. I hope he’s not still thinking this team has a legit chance this year. They have an opportunity to get some good young controllable ballplayers back for next year. Unfortunately he’s kicked the pooch on his trades so I’m not too confident we will be successful with him leading that charge. I hope Theo steps in and “advises” him along the way…

Weren’t the As forced to have a 100m payroll this year?

Breslow should only be in charge of the pitching, which he’s good at. Everything else’s, he’s grossly under qualified…that’s what happens when your owner has zero loyalty to anyone but himself.

had double hernia. And you are NOT ready to go in a couple weeks after. Maybe 8-12 weeks to play baseball. Just guessing. And when he eventually does, he’s not coming back tearing up his stat line. He’s done. He had the best year he was going to have last year.

Crochet has a let issue and my guess is around or after the ASG. Roman hasn’t taken a swing yet. My guys is July for him too..or later. I hope I’m wrong.

He’s got another year option and if he goes to a good team I’m sure there’s a good chance he'd want to opt in…so he’s not just a rental. I think Breslow should ask for a top prospect with a big bat to headline any deal.

He needs to be able to say I’m a good consistent starter. Overall He’s been very mediocre and an inconsistent under performer since he’s been in MLB.

This is a low risk tryout. If he suck he goes away, no big deal. Hopefully he can help.

I don’t want a high pick but that sure looks like what’s happening. Probably be about 500 the rest of the way. I’d be more excited about the return at the deadline if Breslow doesn’t F it up
