As if you need more proof...you want to know how bad Mo really is at his job?
Consider that following the World Series win and using the 2012 roster as the base...if you made ZERO trades or ZERO free agent signings (excluding amateur signings) this is the roster you might have today.
Starters: Flaherty, Lynn, M. Gonzalez, Hudson, Wainright
Relievers: C. Martinez, Helsley, Wacha, Weaver, J. Kelly, R. Sherrif, J. Fernandez
Infield Starters: Wong (2b), DeJong (SS), Carpenter/Freese (3b), Voit/Adams (1b)
Utility: G. Garcia
Outfield: Pham, Mercado, Piscotty, Bader
Payroll of 94,331,000
Actual 2019 Payroll: 147,700,000
Basically coming into this season if Mo was fired, the new GM could have effectively signed both Harper and Machado and probably come out ahead.
