I feel like this is me capitulating and selling in the stock market right at the bottom but I think we're getting to the point where you have to consider if this rebuild is a failure. The team is worse than last year and the clock is ticking on the new core's team control.
Yeah this team is cooked for the foreseeable future. Part of the reasons why the first rebuild worked is because we lucked into having two generational prospects in Strasburg and Harper back to back and Ted Lerner was willing to spend to supplement the already existing team. Now that Ted is dead and his doofus son is unwilling to spend money, the team's inability to draft and develop prospects has been laid bare. It was a problem during the glory days, but Rizzo made up for it by fleecing teams in trades (until he got fleeced himself by the Dodgers lmao). Outside of no-brainer picks like Strasburg and Harper, was Rendon the only first round success Rizzo has had during his tenure? I guess Drew Storen was fine for a minute, but his chokes in the postseason makes him a bust to me.
Everyone involved in the top ranks of the organization needs to go. Rizzo should be fired, Mark Lerner should sell the team if he's that strapped for cash, and I don't understand how Davey and the rest of the coaching staff still have jobs. Davey has been utter dogcrap his entire tenure outside of a few months in 2019. Yes, those were a big few months, but that team won in spite of Davey. Strasburg basically gave up the rest of his career to pitch this team to a World Series. Scherzer gutted his way through injuries. 2019 was the last year Rendon gave a single solitary crap about playing baseball and had a career year, Soto was young and hungry, etc.
