I personally thought we were better when Freeman batted second. I don’t think losing T Turner hurts us all that much, We can use his money to fill some holes…
He made 21 million that won’t fill the holes they have
Not the year to start an austerity plan. We’re a 3rd or 4th place team as it stands at this moment. Could get better real fast with a couple of moves ??
Ohtani better be the hire of the century for all the grief he is going cause for this team.
