Yeah. But they're still making certifiably crazy decisions. Hell, like everyone else, I piled on about them still believing in Chokevar.

But, even nuttier is their refusal to talk contract with Guthrie until the season's over. Hell, they have exclusive negotiating rights.
Perhaps they're afraid Guthrie will just use any offer to take to other teams in FA, but I think its actually possible he might not want to mess with success after his bad experience in Colorado. I wrote about that one too.
I swear this front office drives me nuts.
