And somehow people will use this as evidence that Mozeliak was hamstrung.
Dude has plenary authority over all of baseball ops. HE chose that direction that led to the implosion of our player development system.
And idiot assholes like me pointed this out EIGHT YEARS AGO.

I cancelled my subscription the 2nd time after they yet again posted political bullshit with a story on how Tim Walz was a hero football coach. It was literally a free campaign article.
I cancelled once before after another political story they ran and told them why, they basically hit me back a few months later with a $20 for a year offer so reupped for 1 year. Ended up cancelling again.
**** that rag as I told them I don't go to sports news sights to read about politics. [Reply]

I knew they were trying to keep the MLB roster duct taped together but hadn’t quite realized the extent they were just not spending on anything development related to pay for the duct tape. It makes some of those dumb contracts and particularly lighting money on fire with extensions all the more frustrating. [Reply]
