A bit surprised of your Perry take. Arte is Jerry Jones, meddling owner with final say. Which of course is done on his dime so…… what’s a hired GM going to do……

Agree with this, as a guy that, due to health was out of work for a while, getting up to speed takes some time. Right now his timing is off. He will get there. Remember when healthy he is a game changer.

This is absolute truth, sign Snell , Montgomery preferably both. Trade this guy, somebody will take him.

Not opposed to signing one if the plan is to trade a lefty for a quality young third baseman or pitching all 25 or younger to go with our current youngsters. Impressed with early spring pitching as well.

Montgomery or just a pass on pitching . None of the others are enough of an improvement to pay or take innings from our young pitchers. With four picks in the top 100 or so, how many will get called up by end of season?

Sitting here thinking the same. Maybe it’s a show, letting Boras know we don’t need his guys ha.

This exactly. Arte has been burned a few times, he’s not showing his hand. Really hard to believe different because he’s not cheep , his spending hasn’t worked out well. I think he and Minasian are the only 2 that know the plan. They’ve always operated quietly.

Caden gave up a lead off single, retired the next six in a row. Looked in control, big man. Looks legit. Didn’t see Nick Jones.

Nobody knows what Arte’s going to do. I prefer hope.

I agree with your last sentence, why on earth would the owner or management give any indication on the radio to Boras, what their true desire is at this time. If the price comes into the comfort zone they will jump on it. No cars in the parking lot stuff. My thoughts.

He’s on the payroll.

Agree with this thinking. Need a lead dog to show the way, bullpen has been built. Snell or Montgomery shorter term option after year 2. Gives us a chance at a wild card. I think signing a bat will interfere with opportunity to see if Adell and others can play Major League Baseball. If we’re in the hunt, we can find a bat at trade deadline.
