lol especially when he references a 37 year old dude coming off TJ surgery in the same sentence.

They are allegedly pursuing Kershaw. There's a good chance Dunning turns into an above average SP and they have a prospect in Winn who performed well in AA last season. They are still a ways off from hitting the 40 WAR threshold but if the league expands the playoffs then maybe it doesn't matter - getting to 80 wins is good enough.

I think at a minimum the luxury tax threshold is getting a big bump.

I don't like this shibboleth that "smart" teams don't make big deals. Is Friedman an idiot for making the Betts deal? I would take him any day of the week over Click. The market is different for elite players and it's stupid to totally eliminate that avenue to improve your team when resources are available.

If I were Jimmy Crane I would do the unthinkable and throw down ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FIVE MILLION dollars on Correa. No fan in their right mind could fault such a beneficent owner in view of such a gracious and munificent offer.

Looking like Correa will be in pinstripes next season. The blowback on Crane and the FO is going to be glorious. Click might panic and sign another middling reliever to a near $10M AAV deal to quell the furor.

Brian Kelly to L$U
i don’t care if he’s 60, he has a markedly better track record than any of Strong, Herman, and Sark. Someone with his profile would be better able to withstand a losing season out of the gate than a known mediocrity like Sark. You know Sark is already being negatively recruited against on the basis that he’s probably going to get fired in a year or two, which is hardly an implausible claim. Shit the admin is already having to write stupid letters pledging their support.

Watching the team get worse and worse every week sold me on Sark.

I don’t like BK that much but anyone who had have taken Sark over him last season is an idiot.

So who actually gets fired this winter? Coleman and Gideon? I don’t think Sark will pull the trigger on PK.

I would put 7-8 wins as the absolute ceiling for next season.

Gloop Bowl champs would be a hell of a way to turn around the season.

I don’t want to be one of those “we should have kept Herman” posters, but I don’t remember his teams quitting en masse. Maybe that had to do with Sam though and other team leaders who are now gone.

Chuckie Strong left a roster that won a Sugar Bowl. Would guess there’s a <5% chance Sark has that kind of success.

I just can’t believe Sark was really our Plan B. Goes to show that simply because someone is wealthy/successful, doesn’t mean they aren’t a fucking regard.

Bring back Herman
Yeah, I highly doubt Sark turns things around. Maybe by 2026 Texas football might be worth caring about again. Anyway, hopefully things are sorted out before 2040.
-
Bring back Herman
Herman is responsible for this dogshit roster. He left the program in far worse shape than good ol’ Chuck Strong.

Thompson is done. Robinson is fast.
