Which thankfully he did have some say remember the genius wanted to acquire kipnis, but the owners turned him down. you see that horrendous contract. The owners have no input on these horrible drafts. And the owner could care less which reliever they pick, the paid up 2/14 it is not like they went dumpster diving for swarzak on a career year, all the other good relievers were getting similar money they however decided to spend it on a guy with a spotty track record. SA was the one who brought MC in here. He picked him no one else. rather than give moustakas and lynn money we went with vargas and frazier on longer deals. Try to understand ownership did not stop this guy from spending money. They gave bruce 3/39, they sign cespedes to and enormous contract. heck lost in the shuffle of all the terrible trades he made at the deadline last year what about the 10 million he throw down the drain for AJ ramos and we gave up one of our betting pitching prospects to boot.
Look at the contracts, and my guess is ownership will spend 30-40 million in the offseason they really should spend 50-60 with the insurance money kicking in, but they will spend 30-35 million or so. But at the same time they will go cheap with this managers because they don't want to pay two managers. They are not too bright either. Undoubtely, because of SA terrible job, I think we are gonna get less autonomy from the next gm, I believe SA had control of a lot of decisions, but as time has went on with all his horrendous decisions, the owners got their hands on it, and now this thing with the manager is getting a yes man, so they can keep the hands in the cookie jar. This isn't gonna end well. I see and unmitigated disaster all over the process. I would prefer if they took a guy and made him gm I rather they just stick with someone in house like omar, at least we know he can draft. that is more than I can say for the rest of those guys with sa in my opinion.
