@BrianMarsBars This team is in a position to be a title contender *next year*. Contreras needs to be apart of that vision. There are plenty others who aren’t and never were.
@perfectionline@realwilliam59 I wonder how much that 23-24 season changes with him there. But I think the writing was on the wall for the entirety of 22-23 that this was his last ride. His body was just beat to all hell. Same with Krejci.
@BaseballWRLD_ Which would pose an interesting question: which would be more impressive?
Bonds doing it on steroids in Oracle or Kurtz doing it PED-free in a triple A ballpark?
@Dc5997Arlene@MattGross87 100/100 times. No one disagreed with it at the time and it’s asinine to walk that back. I say this even as someone who was disappointed Montgomery got traded.
There are real people calling Crochet a bum for not rushing back to help an already solid staff on a non-contending team and saying that’s why they lost that trade. I can’t imagine living that way.
