Well said. I have never been a fan of big contracts. I have always preferred the home grown players and Steve Pearce deadline acquisitions over signing superstar free agents. Just because we have the money doesn't mean we have to spend it.
Farm system, farm system, farm system. Then fill the holes with small market free agent deals. Big contracts should be the exception to the rule.
When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
We have Chavis, Dalbec, Duran, Chatham, Mata, Houck and others available for next year. I find it hard to believe that none will contribute to the club next season. If we are lucky maybe a couple of them will help us make the reset while keeping the club somewhat competitive. Bring on the new GM and start making moves aimed at 2020 and beyond.
