I think the real unknown is what sort of budget ownership will allow Breslow to work with. Was Bloom conservative because he thought that was best for the team, or because ownership didn't allow him to spend so he had to work with very limited resources? We don't really know.

That's definitely an unknown, too. But what if Breslow decides not to spend? That could happen.

I agree, we don't really know, but I think the operating assumption is that Bloom could have done something and that something didn't have to include spending a bunch of money.

You know what? I looked it up! And I still got it wrong. That's not great. Thanks for the heads up.

All right but we will learn a lot in like 3 weeks. Especially around stuff like going after Soto or Ohtani. I can wait that long!

I can too, but I think it's going to take a bit longer than a few weeks to know. Maybe I'm wrong though. Let's see!

We'll know in the next month about his approach to FA. Remember Theo spending Thanksgiving in Phoenix to talk to Schilling. Is he that guy or the guy who checks in on whether he can get Soto for $5m a year?
