I'm a big believer in Manaea. They were confident the hip labrum issue could be easily dealt with before they drafted him, and we'll see this year if they're right. If they were, I think he's a top 25 guy on all the lists next year. (Remember, this is the kid that most thought was the No. 1 overall pick before the 2013 college season started).

They offered Gray a lot of money. Something just north of $1 million, if I recall correctly. Yankees drafted him the next year and couldn't get him signed, either.

I think this has to spell the end of Amaro up there. Just an epic-level disaster, and I'm not sure he can escape it.
