Agree. I think they wanted to keep Thuney. Just couldn't agree on contract length. Yea they prob should have traded him but that would give the appearance BB is throwing in the towel on 2020 (when he actually did) Same with trading Gilly.Thuney was not worth the contract given him IMO. But my point was not about this past off-season but the year before.
Bill spent 15mil for 1 year of service on a player he was not planning on signing long term, in a rebuild year was a terrible decision.
Gilly wanted a little more money. Spread that 15mil he gave Thuney over 4 years and he could have given that to Gilmore and that would have given him the raise he wanted.
Or that money could have been used other places.
AndyJohnson was/is a poster who took every sentence and debated/argued it. That was his format. Sometimes it's helpful to separate topics. Sometimes it's maddening. I try not to do it.Not sure why you mentioned Andy Johnson.
