@shoewizard59 Great stuff Jack! Really encouraging to see a young guy with a fastball like Forbes also developing feel for a breaking ball in the zone and out of the zone for chase
@shoewizard59 I still think it would be helpful for Hazen and co to know what the actual budget is in Nov not March. Especially when each time they've made a big late signing its been Kens signing not Mikes and its blown up
@shoewizard59 Super informative and changes the outlook on the offseason. If Kendricks comments are true yesterday, get ready for another offseason of bargain bin shopping because you are not going to be able to take this roster to a 95 win one with only 20 mill to spend.
@shoewizard59 Potentially. Probably hard to say exactly how much development occurred however after those rumors and as these guys transitioned to the big leagues. All im saying is with our track record, I dont think you can confidently say its a slam dunk they would be who they are today
@shoewizard59 I mean, the fans still showing up and Kendrick has repeatedly said they reinvest the money back into the team. So we should expect the same payroll number for 2027 Jack?
@dbacksprospectz No guarantee Kendrick will be willing to go back to those payroll levels especially if this team doesnt make the playoffs. Attendance has been down and fans in the valley only show up if they are contending. These last couple of weeks will have a huge impact on next year payroll
@SnakesTerritory This teams struggles vs RHP may be the biggest achilles heel of the roster IMO. The bats we have coming back are right handed, updated thoughts on any of the lefty bats in the minors coming up and making an impact later in the season?
