Ryan has done the little things right, or at least some little things, like you said, acquiring Escobar and Milone. But he has some big, tough decisions to make, and he is not making them. He did sign some free agent pitchers but, all teams do that. It's not really a big deal to sign a free agent pitcher to a multi year deal. I'm sure firing Gardenhire felt like a really big deal, but it shouldn't have been when you look closer at it. And now that Gardy has been hired back in, it's almost like undoing the firing.
