You’ve gotta be kidding me? Just when I think it can’t go further, it does. Yes, your plan is the ONLY plan that could ever possibly work. Come on. This has to be HighHeat19 or something. When are we all going to be let in on the joke?!! Bud, there are plenty of ways in which Stearns could go in building a championship quality team. He had one a season ago. Some injuries and regression from some have most likely kept us away from something special this season. Going all nutty and batty is the exact opposite of what a quality GM does. There are pieces here and there will be opportunities to be had with players to obtain. Hopefully the right buttons will be pushed going forward with this team so your 50+ years of fandom can be finally paid off by those greedy bastards running the show. Sorry but it’s not gonna happen on a payroll 100 million less than the superteams. How could it? For all the love the Rays get for their forward thinking front office, and for good reason, they won’t win the title either, and neither will the Twins, until their payroll bumps up, which in the Twins case should happen. Same with the As, no chance. Greedy bastards? I’m assuming your referring to Attanasio? Bastard isn’t a word I would use even if I was angry. Greedy? Not sure that’s the right word I’d use to describe Mark A. He’s a wealth manager, so wouldn’t he have to be obsessed with money? At least focused on making money, right? You should probably do some research or teams to make/win the World Series over the past 20 seasons before spouting off more of your nonsense.
