Griff said no and a few months later, he trades him for pick 48 or so and two guys who probably wont play, didnt get to use the MLE and doesnt have a TPE and has had to tip toe around the tax all year
Just another small example of a Griff miss. None of them are massive misses, but if you were to add them all up, they would add up to the equivalent of two massive misses IMO. I could easily show you a path where we have all the same core guys, same record in the past two seasons and are more flexible with an additional two firsts and 8-10 seconds.
Again, just another small example of how he doesnt hit singles, and instead just often hits into double plays with the around the margins moves
