That doesn't explain why they would hate him tho
The implication, here, was that maybe he was seen as an instigator, recruiting some of them early, or otherwise in on the POS scheme.
The alternative -- maybe they just didn't think he was that good -- doesn't hold a lot of weight in my mind because the staff was much improved over last year. There has been lots of talk about him focusing on analytics perhaps to a fault.
Maybe it's a little of both? I don't know. But keeping all these pitchers isn't something I really thought would happen even without the staff turnover. It's kinda unheard of in this new NIL + portal era.
