Cash would never allow Jack to talk like this unless they were absolutely sure something was going to happen :dead:

They better close the deal now and keep going afterwards. Still need a centerfielder potentially, still need a third baseman, still need a catcher (unproven at all 3 spots), and a huge question mark at first base. I still say if they can get bellinger on a 4-5 year deal that’s the move to make. Go get Yamamoto too. They need another reliable starter.

The Martian will return.

And ain't no way Bellinger's taking a 4-5 year deal.

I want him to be great but he’s unproven. That’s where Bellinger comes in. If the Martian doesn’t pan out, he’s the centerfielder. If he does, Bellinger moves to first base.

They shouldn’t even have to spend like the boss did to contend. If they could just develop their own players, they could contend on barely $200 million probably. Look at Atlanta for an example. Meanwhile this front office and analytics department outside of Judge have to point to Brett Gardner as the 2nd best player drafted and developed by them since before the home run chase of Big Mac and Sammy (& Griffey before he tailed off late in the season). Hal would be saving money if he’d just put in the work to employ a competent front office and he’s so clueless that it’s probably never dawned on him.
