Don’t do it David Stearns
I don’t think anyone can say that David Stearns doesn’t have a resume that shows he’s a genius when it comes to building teams from the ground up. Look what he did with the Brewers teams and their development. That’s why I got so excited when he came over to the #NYM — BUT THE DUDE IS ACTING LIKE HE’S STILL OPERATING A SMALL MARKET TEAM. And what’s he going to do to back up his reasoning for missing out on key free agents? He is going to over pay for our 3rd option. I’ve always been a Bellinger fan (except 2025 cause fuck the yankees) but him wanting 6 years and 37 million?? Yes he had a bounce back year and it would be great to have his defensive versatility but THIRTY SEVEN A YEAR?!

I feel for the Toronto Blue Jays as they’ve missed on some large free agents over the last few years. But they also have home grown super star Vladdy Jr. and have had a BUSY off season. Yes we got Soto and I’m happy about that but look at our depth (outside of 47 middle infielders) — LOOK AT OUR OUTFIELD. I MISS BRANON NIMMO — and don’t get me started on Pete , I’ll cover that another day.
At this point I’m torn on whether I’m mad at the Dodgers or if I’m mad at 29 other owners for seemingly not wanting to win enough. Not that related but did you know the Rays owner is as rich as the Yankees owner? Although I guess I understand his hesitancy to sign players to long term deals…
Thanks for listening to this #Eggrant
