@ECloskyWTSP@stevecarney The Rays success is because the organization is well run and has amazing talent pulling the strings. The Rays success is not because they always have a small payroll. Equating the two is a sleight of hand that the Rays have successfully pulled off.
@ECloskyWTSP@stevecarney The Rays have mastered the argument that you can be successful and cheap at the same time. They've sold the story well and backed it up on the field. You think it could help the FO if they could go higher on the payroll? Think Charlie Morton could have helped the last few years?
@stevecarney By "would take some fiscal gymnastics that certain groups won’t want to undertake" are you saying that Stu would need to spend some of the hundreds of millions he's added to his net worth since buying the team?
@Aidenwi75963858 @WillStertz44@ltw0303@stevecarney There are many ways to improve your team other than chasing one position. The Rays are experts at this. But sometimes it costs money to make moves that help your team. The FO has no flexibility with money. They can't always be miracle workers.
@ltw0303 @Aidenwi75963858 @WillStertz44@stevecarney We don't spend. We don't spend to spend and we don't spend to win. Eglin being the largest FA contract in Rays history is something that shouldn't be spoken out loud. Stu doesn't spend money. I think he should. Others give him a pass.
