In many places they are oversaturated. They bought out Brookshire's/Super 1 pharmacy a couple of years ago. We now have 4 Walgreens on the same street all within a few miles of each other....

Who are some successful hitting coaches they could target? I'd think people would be foaming at the mouth to work with a lot of these guys....

Spotrac has him valued at 6 years $136 million, so roughly $22 million/year. That's a no brainer, but I know some team will give him $30/year. And I know AA will be hung up on years but he just paid a 40 year old Morton $20 million in 2024 dollars. $22 million in 2030 would be a steal for a 36 yea...

Is this his first year? I’ll never judge a coach in what he does his first year. Got to give him some time. ...

Agreed. He is so frustrating at times but you know what you’re getting. For the right price I’d love to have him back. This year proved you can’t have too much pitching. So unless they think AJSS or Waldrep are ready then we need another guy. ...

What bad contract could we trade Murphy for? Was thinking Bae but the Cubs don’t need a catcher. But then again, neither did we and still added one. And the Cubs would have to throw in a lot of cash. ...

Our catchers can't throw out any runners anyway. Much of that may be on the pitchers. But once automated strike zones are here, the value of a defensive catcher is voided....
