Im not as down on these moves, as it feels more like cost efficiency moves than anything. Mondesi was making $3 mil to basically do nothing. Taylor was at $4.5 mil to help how? We have younger guys needing time to either develop or give the org an evaluation period. While loading up on arms. We saw this past season how not having enough arms can be extremely detrimental even in the bullpen. Sign more arms (seems what they are doing), let the young position players continue with the development/evaluation. And continue overhauling the developmental logistics throughout the org. Patience at this point isnt necessarily a bad thing. Paying tens of millions to Taylor, Mondesi, Dozier, Santana, O'Hearn, Merrifield etc is what we all wanted to see changed, and thats what is changing.
