Jay said he likes to develop kids right out of high school.. By doing this, you will have more leaders on the team.. we spent all the money on the transfer players. Why can't we give the millions to the high school players?Then, they wouldn't go to the major leagues?

I think you are overestimating how much these guys are making in NIL money

What was the name of that kid from jackson mississippi 2 years ago? He is currently on the pittsburgh pirates roster.

I would have threw about four million at him.

Hate bringing in 1 year guys, doesn’t give you the yearly consistency, thus you get 24 and 26

We don’t need guys like Skenes, Tommy Tanks, Eyerson, or any of the others?

Konnor Griffin. His signing bonus with the Pirates was $6.5 million. He was never going to come here.

Eyanson was a 1 year transfer that we couldn’t have won without.

You want a generational player who will never ever step on a college campus?

We have some really good players we signed out of high school playing pretty good for other teams this year. You gotta keep em and that seems extremely difficult.
