The OP has a long history of starting 'bazar ' threads!

How pathetic are you… I misspelled the word and you have literally posted this like 30 times…… I mean, I guess if it make you feel better about your pathetic self you should keep doing it….. I mean I’m all about helping the misfortunate and special needs people……

LOL....beat me to it!
Every weekend is the same....Bully & Webby alternate days starting comedy threads.
If we could somehow place bets in Vegas on them showing up we’d all be rich!

These are the realities of a rebuild. I don't understand how some fans still need to hear this on a weekly basis. Our farm system was bare, our coaching and scouting staffs were falling behind, our major league talent was aging and required kicking in money to move. It sucks but we have to suffer a but before it gets better.

Some teams, some sports, some leagues (ncaa) rebuild a heck of a lot faster and it starts with new HC.

Superb point- NCAA. Now with the portal it’s impossible to build a four year team. So they don’t. They go year to year. Yet they seem to rebuild. Yearly.

How? The coach?

The OP and several like him prefer to wallow in their willful ignorance (about how re-builds work) and living in fantasy land (about what they wanted\expected to happen).

But they sure love their daily postings proving both.

Please explain how it works.

Welcome. To the Machine. It’s alright; we know where you’ve been.

You self appointed geniuses keep saying how this is going great ….What is great about it? We literally gave away three of our best players and gave $50 million for them to play somewhere else… The prospects we got back are definitely not the things you build around… They are stop gaps for a few seasons…… We have literally not added one position player to one of the league’s worst offenses… But we did trade two of our three best right handed bats…… I honestly cannot be more disappointed in what bloom has done so far……… but I’m sure I will hear how this is a rebuild and I don’t know how a rebuild works… Even though our own owner said this isn’t a rebuild

I think you make some good points and yes I share some of the same frustration. There is one major point to consider. Blooms challenge is an organizational rebuild not just a roster rebuild. The rebuild has included major staffing changes, major minor league and development upgrades, moving veteran contract, etc. However the roster rebuild is going very, very slow. That is the frustrating part.

And a truckload of NIL.

How could you correlate that phenomena with a baseball team.

Moreover, this trend to shorter commitments leads players to follow, not just the $, but the hot teams. If you turn in a loser year after year, there's no way to attract the top talent and climb out of your hole. You have to build and maintain a culture of winning.

Its more of a short term momentum play than this misguided and backassward yin-yang style lose as much as possible to maybe win someday that we see with some basefall franchises. That doesn't work in most sports and I'm hoping the MLB further restricts its seeming usefulness as well. Uncompetitiveness is bad for the sport, and all involved, except maybe the billionaire owner.

Selling sucks, but it's still a better offseason than last year.

Two truckloads of cash for free agents.

Wouldn't you just love to be married to-or the child-of one of these guys?
With winning, upbeat personalities like Web, it must just be one special moment after another.

It's been explained over and over again, ad nauseum, all winter. You just choose to not accept it and wallow in your ignorance. That's an issue, not an issme.
