@RedSox here Breslow. We know you make dumb ass decisions anyway. Take a chance 🤷🏻♂️ could put a little bit of leadership in the clubhouse with Contreras and Duran. Also, trade story and call up Arias 🤷🏻♂️
Hypothetical: You’re the owner of an MLB team. I offer to take $0 salary and sign a minor league contract and go to Low A.
If the “he sucks now” crowd is right and I get lit up, you cut me, lose $0 and there’s no risk to the big league club.
If the “clubhouse cancer” crowd is right, you see it immediately at Low A and cut me. You lose $0 and there’s no risk to the big league club.
If there’s massive negative PR, which we already know there won’t be, you just cut me and move on. The story is dead in a couple days, you lose $0, and there’s no risk to the big league club.
But, assuming none of those things happen, which they obviously wouldn’t, if you like what you see, you can promote me to AA and re evaluate me there. Then AAA. Then the big leagues. If I earn it, which you’d be 100% in control of deciding. If you don’t think I’m good enough, you lose $0 and there’s no risk to the big league club.
You could take away my “antics”. You could take away my social media. You could ask anything of me. If I don’t comply, you cut me, lose $0, and there’s no risk to the big league club.
What logical reason is there to not do this? At worst, you cut me and there’s no risk to the big league club. At best, you get a Cy Young winner for $0 who you know can still pitch and could help the big league team if and when you see fit.
ESPN sources: The Colts are trading former Pro Bowl LB Zaire Franklin to the Green Bay Packers.
A former seventh-round pick, Franklin spent eight years in Indianapolis and was an organizational favorite who led the NFL in tackles in 2024 with 173.
@CollinGardner Our edges are pretty good imo. Latu is going to be a problem, JT we know COULD be good, I’m hoping we can resign Lewis or Ebukam. Kwity is going to cost too much now so that’s a stinky but I truly love our d-line. I also know Buck and Grove are aging but they are still insane
@CollinGardner Second level is truly astounding. The colts defense was not a risky unit. They played it safe more often than not. If you simply make him a strong side LB to fill a gap more so than play coverage I believe he gets back to all pro form
@CollinGardner Which from the outside looking in it doesn’t make much sense why I would be bothered by it right? But in ‘23 AND ‘24, he led the league in tackles both years. Yes his inability to be a good coverage backer is debilitating but the ability to defend the…
@CollinGardner Absolutely. We are weak in the LB position and still have Grover and Buck. We have let Zaire go and EJ Speed a couple years back. Not to mention Bobby Okereke recently too. We have very little talent at the LB position right now 😞
