I hope Glasnow pitches the WS-winning game for the Rays and Meadows hits a walk-off granny to complete it
I'm not going to fault them for not moving Vazquez at the deadline. They didn't know. It's something you would have liked them to know, but you can't know everything about a person. And if they knew, it would have been dirty pool to move him knowing that and 1) keeping their mouths shut and 2) washing their hands of it and shifting the "liability" to someone else with a ticking bomb.
Personally, I'd hate the organization even more had that been what they had done. Making them extremely ****ty humans by keeping this quiet and putting, but you do you.
Dude, you are arguing with yourself. They didn't know!@
I'm saying the correct BASEBALL MOVE was to trade his butt at the DEADLINE>
You're using hindsight, but cool. They should have traded him for $.75 for a $1. That was the smart baseball move. Cool.
I'm going to go get my Nolan Ryan jersey dry cleaned.
Do YOU know what the offers were? I hate that line. No, none of us know. We're not involved, that's why we're vomiting onto a message board online.
Like I said way back in the brighter days of July. They were right and wrong to not trade Vazquez then. They obviously didn't meet their asking price and we all want the best return possible, but a reliever on a long term deal was not on a deadline to move. They were going to have at least 2 more choice opportunities to move him. Any player is a risk to get hurt, get the yips, get arrested, etc, you can't see one of those happen to today and complain that they didn't foresee that yesterday.
Innocent until proven guilty, but if Vazquez is guilty then American jail is too good for him. Revoke his work visa, freeze his bank accounts, and send him back to Venezuela penniless.
He's thrown his last MLB pitch
I literally wore a Vazquez "Nightmare" tshirt from Free TShirt Fridays to bed last night. Feels gross. Worst organization in sports maybe.
