Maybe we should've given the team taco bell every day.

Bruce has approved a 2024 PAYROLL of at least $5.

Sounds expensive

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.

I believe the next GM and POBO would be the cheap ones because you know...it's Sherman. 

Sherman ain't into tanking

Bendix has been with the Rays a long time, became GM a couple of years ago. Good pick.

Been there since 2009 - that's a lot of winning.

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.

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. 

Lol hire payroll.

yea your right it was a team option for 2025 i thought it was skips option. i think if they hired this new guy they would have ran by the plans to keep skip here right? he wouldnt sign here if he wanted his own managers?

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.

Can a bendy dick do a straight steal?
