Management claimed to be building towards this season, so much for planning.
We signed 2 starting pitchers in their 40s who are at least 7 years past being worth a damn. Their only position players added in the offseason are very low rung bench sitters.
Just what the fuck is going on ?
My take is management started the rebuild 2 years too late and the promised increase in payroll was a lie to get Cobb County to invest 400 million in taxpayers' money to build the new stadium in Cobb.
Here is where it gets down right evil, the project includes a billion or more in the project around the stadium. The Denver area investment company who owns The Braves primary income is from operating mixed use areas such as was built around the stadium to help finance The team down the road. Then when it was too late to pull back these snakes separated all operations of the surrounding properties from The Braves. Now not only will they not have to spend profits on Braves' operations, when they sell The Braves, they keep their properites, while the stadium is stuck in the middle of their properties.
