Stop Killing My Precious Team
This is a message intended for jasonbhag1, who is already taking my beloved Long Angeles Anteater franchise into the crapper. I'll spare the existing owners from sounding like jerks and do the job for them. They already attempted to advise you against big moves like this and you refused to listen. Your trade was stupid. Almost every new owner has learned this lesson, including me. Yet new owners continue to ignore veterans' sage advice.
Dude, I left very explicit and helpful instructions on how to manage through the team, and I also wrote a sitemail that you haven't read that offered help if you needed it. But instead you trade two above average ML's with manageable short-term contracts for two duds, one of which is a 1B that is worse than your existing cheap 24 year-old Juan Romero (so where is the new guy going to play???) and the other is a guy that you could have picked up in the Rule 5 draft if you really needed to but won't ever be a ML SS and probably just shouldn't be on a ML team. Let's not forget that possibly both Cerda and Ozuna would be likely Type A/Type B candidates in FA (Cerda maybe a B, Ozuna likely an A or a for sure B) that would have netted you draft picks. Not awesome draft picks in all liklihood, but better than the S*** sandwich you just traded for.
All of this for...$6M more in the Intl market? Are you f'ing kidding me? You are nowhere close to being able to afford the best Intls that would make this worthwhile. You traded two assets for basically nothing. Congratulations. Can't wait to see how else you take the franchise down the toilet.
Schnoogens out.
