Christian Yelich turned 29 three weeks ago. I understand what you are trying to say, but if you are going to rip into the team's front office, probably best to at least be accurate. So to clarify, we want to sign the best players, but not give big contracts to 30+ players? Do we realize that there are few 27yo free agents? Most of them are 30+.... And for the record, I thought Braun's deal actually worked out pretty decently. Not perfectly, but he was serviceable to the end (when healthy). There are certainly worse contracts at the tail end of player's careers.
