For one, no one saw the Marlins doing this. Thy were overbidding for everyone.
It is Rizzo's JOB to know these things.
Second, unless the Nationals were willing to top the Marlins by a lot, he wasn't coming here.
So why did we even bid? Why did Rizzo name the guy as his top choice? Why did he appear to be surprised when notified that we lost out? Why are we now on to some unknown Plan B which appears to mean signing nobody.
We don't need Rizzo going on tilt and signing guys just to appease the fan base. But getting knocked off track at the first road block and going into a shell isn't much better.
