Great...except DIPoto would be the one rebuilding and from what I have seen so far he is no contractor. More of duct tape sort of guy.
Yeah, nothin says rebuild like holding on to 3 of the biggest trade chips you have let alone one is a closer
I get holding onto Haniger, but a closer on a rebuilding team makes no sense (which is the M's way).

Marco we kept for super cheap, that's the reason to keep himI can understand Haniger too but outside Paxton he’d get the most back. But don’t at all understand keeping Diaz nor now with the hire of that analytics guy why would they keep onto Marco? If they can get anything for him it seems better than just having him go and throw 4 innings.
But I hate analytics people running the sport, to me, you fill out the back end of the rotation, the situational guys in the bullpen and the bottom tier of your position players. Not construct your entire franchise around that philosophy. The Cubs and Astros are credited with using analytics during their rebuild but I firmly believe 99% of their success is because they got and developed all stars not because of playing the percentages.
Yeah, that's just it. I don't mind a fire sale. I just question if Dipoto is the right guy to architect it. In the years that he has spent running the Angels and Mariners, he has no experience at all in this area.Great...except DIPoto would be the one rebuilding and from what I have seen so far he is no contractor.
