I'll wait and see.
The managers salary doesnt mean shit when it comes to putting dollars on the field and those dollars are something Hoyer has been reluctant to give out. He's avoided going big in FA because he would rather offer 6-7 at $35M AAV instead of the 10+ at $25-30M the market is willing to pay. Maybe there was some kind of guarantee, but it could have been the same guarantee the Cardinals made to Arenado to get him to opt in. I doubt the Cubs seriously go after Ohtani. The question will be will they finally start using some of these top prospects to make some substantial trades and then use their ****ing bank account to extend the player, like say... Juan Soto.
