1. we have an elite level asset we can't afford to let walk
2. we waited too long to extend long term which would have had consequences as to win now but would have been cheaper earlier (which requires deeper dive exam but prob should have done)
3. so we now have to either trade him as a rental or sign him
4. we correctly extended him max, should have tried to not give [pending] nmc even if we would need to pay him another coupla mil to do so
5. we have Garand, Quick + Domingue to step in if the martians kidnapped Igor
6. We have a short window to deal Shesty now before nmc kicks in
7. need to admit this roster is not enuf, need to deal higher end pieces, like figuratively $1 each, for $1.35 min or better in upside packages of quality youth so we can reset
8. need to recognize dealing Shesty is a start to get it thru to Zib and others, no entitlement, things ARE gonna change, move on, or accept consequences
basically, dat's it
While that's nice for now,
1. no fuggin excuse
2. STILL no fuggin acceptable level of defense/still too contact averse
no, he deserves nothing
break him
Think it was not just a position change, but lack of effort/no heart
would rather give away/cut bait/never see again
