Remember when Luhnow was after Bryce Harper before he hit free agency? How Jim Crane allowed MLB and coastal media to push him to dump Luhnow is still amazing
The fact that he fired them both with all the other teams doing it is dumbfounding. Firing them did nothing but make the team worse.

I have to think there was a deal made. Take this for the MLB team and keep your ring. Disgusting to think of that a successful man like Crane would do that. Maybe I'm wrong.
If that was the deal he should have said screw that and gone nuclear on Manfred. No way he had that much clout. There is to much dirt and noise out there on the other teams. He did it pure and simple to try and save face and show that he is above cheating and it wont be tolerated.

Even if he was safe you don't need to steal there.

Straight steal? Shouldn't it have been hit and run?

Tucker should have been out at 1st so he gave it back anyway.

Tucker kind of acted like it was. He looked in

Both steal attempts were stupid.

Maybe keep Siri and trade McCormick. I'm not sure he will ever recognize a slider.

get used to Odo... he'll be around another season it seems

What the hell? One of those milestones ain't like the others.

Feels like whistling past the graveyard if you keep Odo in.

I actually don't think it's that hard to understand - he fired Lunhow because Lunhow most likely lied to him. Anyone with a brain knows Lunhow saw the memo by the league and read the emails he said he didn't read to the end of. Any of you managers would have done the same thing.

Hinch is another story. That was the bad move in my opinion. By smashing 2 TVs, it's pretty clear he sent a message that he didn't agree with the scheme. I can somewhat understand why Hinch didn't verbally say anything to anyone - I think he would have lost the locker room. Crane should have given Hinch the Cora treatment.

Get ready for click to sell Jake Myers return from the IL as a trade acquisition. If he can produce like he did last year, it'll be good.

I mean, with how he did last year, aren't you willing to give him a shot if Chas and Siri don't perform?

In what world do you think Click sells off a younger, better centerfielder than the 2 currently on the roster?

I should clarify that this was meant as more of a shot as clicks rampant bs'ing and not a suggestion he should ship away Jake.

But adding Jake and McCullers midseason is going to be a big boost.

We're pretty set in all positions except CF. We have options. And it's not like there will be someone better at the deadline. Big hitting CFers are kind of rare.

The other options would be SS (Pena looks the part) and Catcher (they all kind of suck).

Getting a good lefty or 2 for the bullpen would be my priority at the deadline.

I don't he BS's any more than 90% of GMs across any of the major sports. An honest GM is super rare. You guys are too harsh.

I think one of Siri or McCormick are likely to get the straw treatment come the trade deadline assuming Jake comes back with no setbacks. I doubt we go for a SS unless Pena gets hurt. At catcher, I can see Castro getting dfa'd or traded or having knee problems again and deciding to retire. In that case, Korey Lee probably gets the call.
