Despite his words in the past, he’s here, that’s it, Buxton has made more recent comments of potentially agreeing to a trade if this team wasn’t serious about contending. We all might want to keep him, he may want to stay. But without the commitment from ownership, I don’t know anyone who wants to stay when they have opportunities to win elsewhere. People talk about extending players … Ryan is gone, so trade him. Every SP on this team is gone at their earliest if ownership cannot make commitments to field a good team around them. Honestly, if I could, I’d keep the SP, Buxton, spend money on a 3 good BP arms and one good bat (à la Nelson Cruz), then bring up the youngsters for the rest. But, ownership is committed to bumbling meager spending. We aren’t going to see a winning team again as long as they are in charge.
