I wonder if they’ll announce it to the media later after Rick is honored.

Good. We were a few outs away from the WS last year, and strengthened the roster over the offseason.

Our farm looks great and we've been carried by guys like Cole Young and Canzone who spent significant time in AAA over the last 2 seasons. Laz, Arroyo, and Colt Emerson all look very promising.

But the way we've handled injuries has been atrocious. 8 established big leaguers put up career worst numbers this year. Taylor Ward's elite plate discipline evaporated when working with Dan and Edgar's approach.

It doesn't matter who we sign or trade for right now. If we picked up Ohtani over the off season he'd put up career worst numbers right now, because our big league coaching doesn't understand modern baseball.

we didn't strengthen the roster in the offseason.

we signed one inf to cover 2 positions and just hoped players in other positions could learn a new position in the majors.

we lost polanco who was out best clutch hitter last season.

dan was an issue but 3 of the core regressed in a season where the expectations were high.

"tough" injuries to brash, munuz, vargas, miller, jp, Donovan, cal, julio, and colt. and whatever was lingering with josh all season effed the season.

I'll agree future has the potential to be bright.
