@shannondrayer Does the decision to do these surgeries really happen within less than a week, or was Jerry just fully not in the loop when he told the media there were no operations on the books?
@ELROLONW Ferreira on the wing has looked very ineffective to me. He’s not a 1v1 player and I think he needs to be central either as a 9 or 10. His best play with Dallas was when he was in and on top of the 18
@Michael_James32 The roster construction is just awful. I have a hard time assigning blame beyond that because it’s the principle issue that causes all of the other issues. The rumors of letting Craig panic-buy a striker are terrifying
@jamesinho4@NoahRiffe Between Rothrock, Vargas, Brunell, and Kalani I don’t really have a problem with Schmetz’s management of the kids. Feels like the promising ones are mostly playing. The head-scratcher for me was Craig selling Vargas, Atencio, and Leyva within a year and getting Dotson
@MarinerMuse I have a feeling when the Jerry Dipoto tell all happens in a decade, that will be the season he regrets the most. Specifically not going full send on the bullpen arm at the deadline. The team was probably good enough if you have Duran instead of Ferguson
I don’t see much of an issue with the Sounders getting something in return for the young players that they don’t feel will graduate from the margins of the roster, but there’s at least a chance this burns them big time in the future if they keep doing it at a high rate.
