Those two are the biggest outliers tho....
The A's have been ran into the ground, from the Reggie Jackson days of being a top team in the AL to moving out of Oakland :skip:

The Pirates, a team with big history, have been made into a perennial last place team :skip:

Rockies ownership has been perfectly fine with never spending or building a winner since their inception.

The Mets won 101 games last year and made the playoffs.

Even if ohtani never pitched again he’d still get 350-400 mil minimum.cuz he’s an elite hitter ,who will always have the possibility of pitching again whether it be as a closer or multi inning bullpen weapon or as a starter.Nathan evaoldi had 2 tjs & he’s stil solid.Dude was about to get the biggest contract in mlb history(still may regardless)

I wonder how he would handle the unpredictable role of being in the bullpen. Being a closer would be a different kind of stress too as well as pitching 2-4 times a week.

This is his second UCL tear. Even he close to his full velocity, putting him in the bullpen will take his bat out of the lineup in some situations. Then is even able to pitch 3-4 times a week? Roster construction could be pretty tricky.

I really believe his pitching days are over

Speaking of incompetent, does Ozzie Albies have the most incompetent agent in sports?
Dude is sitting on a 30 HR , 100 RBI season as a second basemen, but signed a trash contract.
Just to put it in perspective, Mark f*cking Canha made $13M last year and $11.5M this year, Ozzie been in the league since 2018 and his lifetime earnings have yet to reach $18M.

If we are gonna use this as a metric, A's actually battled the Astros from 2018-2020 and made the post season all 3 years....

Mets spent a lot of money and got immediately embarrassed in the post season after like 7 years of drought and won't be back for another 7 or so... Spending money stupid doesn't mean you are tryna win
