Why? They won 4 WS in 20 years

I’ve been following since 1967 as an 8 year old

I’ve seen 1967-2003

This is nothing where we are at :laugh:

Don't be disingenuous and pretend 2025 FSG operates the same way 2004 Henry did.

2004 Henry tried to trade for a 27 year old MVP, current Henry traded one away as a sweetener to dump a contract
 
Why would you go out and give someone like Alex Bregman a huge contract before you find out exactly how good Kristian Campbell is? It's not like Campbell is several years away.
I'm not specifically talking about signing Bregman. Just the general idea that because a prospect is highly rated that means you can't possibly sign a good player at that position. The more good players and options you have the better. I don't need to see 9 homegrown players in the lineup.

What you're describing sounds more like collecting talent rather than building a team.
 
I understand being cautious about throwing out big contracts with Masa and Story, and others we’ve been burned on, but it looks like even if they give Bregman a deal they’ll be way under the tax threshold. And is it unrealistic to think they could contend for a playoff spot with their current roster plus him? Seems like a no brainer.
