If you want to argue Mozeliak does a poor job managing said budget and he, along with DeWitt, are foolish for not wanting to have a losing season for 2-3 years in order to finish above .500 every year with a faint shot at PO success with marginal upgrades before and during the season, I won't disagree.
Mozeliak's approach is the polar opposite of Jocketty's, which was say **** tomorrow, today's the only thing that matters (which is what ultimately got him fired).

Yeah, Dewitt said that, but Mozeliak said the same thing (something about winning the bid only gets oh the right to the player and you still have to pay him in arb, etc…)
He’s parroting what Mozeliak told him. Again, that’s baseball ops and DeWitt doesn’t involve himself in that outside of providing a payroll figure.
Robert was Mozeliak’s doing. I don’t think for one second that DeWitt put cuffs on him on this one international signing.
