@Drowninghipster@LEONEMC@davidaldridgedc Corbin contract paid too. Ppl act like they never spent. Ownership spends when the product is good. Hasn’t been for 5 years now.
@Capsandredskins@jburroughsa @DC__Rising Pretty hard to retain talent when they haven’t had any for 10+ years of drafts. Had no problem spending when a successful team was on the field through the draft. Giving Strasburg 250 mil after WS isn’t spending? Unfortunately 60 mil was being between Corbin & Stras…
@Q_Skinz@Frostzyyy@NavyYardNats Made no sense to spend the past 5 years during a rebuild that was pretty abysmal till the Soto trade. Corbin/Strasburg taking 60+ mil a year with a horrible 40 man due to 10+ failed drafts. They had no problem spending when we had a solid core of Harper, Stras, Rendon, Zim, etc..
@Frostzyyy@Q_Skinz@NavyYardNats My point generational #1 picks and Rendon falling was a gift. Took 3-4 managers to finally pull off a magical 19 run. Honestly wish we fired him last year and took Bendix from the Rays instead went to Marlins.
@Q_Skinz@Frostzyyy@NavyYardNats Sure did but time is up. Hit on Harper/Stras generational #1 picks and Rendon. Since that absolutely nothing. Shows how 10+ years of horrific drafts led to this.
@themadlineman@KnowYourWhy1@espn@JeffPassan Why would you want Rizzo, who would’ve been gone next season with the option, to handle the number 1 pick? July 1 was the option for 26.
@Ken_Rosenthal I think we’ve literally had 1 dude since 2011 with over 2 war from the draft… maybe another I’m missing but absolutely atrocious. Still will always appreciate what Rizzo did for this franchise.
