Kind of appalled by this. The relevant question was, to what extent did he look into moving veterans with expiring contracts, and all he and the questioner were talking about was adding payroll. Delusional, I/M/O. Somebody flinched at doing the right thing. It's emotionally tough to sell Kendrick and Suzuki, and their play may have limited the value of Cabrera and Eaton (and certainly Thames), but it was a seller's market, you have a thin minor league system, and there was talent available to strengthen it. I hate to say the Bill Belichick approach, but it worked well (we even have the Brady comparable in Soto).
The Lerners won’t let Rizzo sell.
