October 31, 20232 yr On 10/28/2023 at 2:43 PM, Valid said: The top three highest payrolls in 2023 belonged to the Mets, Yankees and Padres. None of those three teams even made the playoffs. Meanwhile, the Rays and Orioles were 28th and 29th and finished with two of the best records in baseball. The Diamondbacks were 21st and are in the World Series. The Marlins were 24th and made the playoffs. Only caring about "PAYROLL" is a ridiculous way to operate. I mean in the cases of the Orioles and Dbacks its slightly misguided since they have SO MANY players that are major contributors whom are not even arbitration eligible or early in the arbitration process. Still a somewhat valid point, but this should be pointed out as a reason for the lower payrolls. But yes, payroll ONLY is not a recipe for success.
November 1, 20232 yr I believe the next GM and POBO would be the cheap ones because you know...it's Sherman.

November 5, 20232 yr Author 1) Great name. 2) I like the idea. 3) However does that mean Bruce wants to go cheap?
November 5, 20232 yr Bendix has been with the Rays a long time, became GM a couple of years ago. Good pick.

November 5, 20232 yr I like the hire if it's the rays gm. but it certainly does look like bruce wants to be cheaper in the future @TaiwanMarlins. the question now is what will they do with skip and what does skip want to do? is he a lame duck as kim wouldve been?

They don't need to do anything with Skip, nor does it matter what he wants to do. He has 2 years left on his contract.

Not necessarily cheaper. Just better run.
November 5, 20232 yr Ya know, Bruce could even let this guy run us like the Rays but with a hire payroll if he so desires. Would be interesting.

Not a guarantee although I can't imagine too many players would be happy if they ran off the manager that got them to the playoffs out of town after just one year. So I'm sure Skip will stay. Hopefully Bendydicks will prefer more steals, too.
