I'm done with him after seeing the interview where he insists they need major league ready talent in return on any trade. Even if that is his desire, he should be more aware of the fanbase and need to differentiate himself from DM and not put it out there directly.
Hopefully Sherman can have a Clark Hunt/Pioli type revelation sometime soon, clean house, and hire someone respected and proven who can lead the change.

I need him to stop talking about getting back major league ready talent in every trade.
I liked what they got for Chapman. Ragans was close to MLB but had issues they thought they could fix and was high ceiling. The younger player in the package is the type of lottery ticket they should be acquiring.
When they're trading any talent, of any level, and the return doesn't make them younger, or better, or have more upside than the player they shipped out, that's an issue.
I didn't expect much for Nicky Lopez. I did expect them to do something different/better than acquiring a shitty reliever with the same level of control, who is older and worse. Especially one who literally was available for CASH last week.
It's a Scott Pioli-type move.
