This. There was no guarantee Fisher or Mitch would be back to their pre-injury selves and even then, we'd have to pay a rental T for part of the season while Fisher got up to speed. While I hate to see it end for them like this, it's a business and the business is keeping PMII alive. Reiter was going to want a Brink's truck worth of cash for his services and we just didn't have it.

Pretty sure we easily could've paid Reiter, but...

A) He isn't nearly worth what he'll get in free agency

B) It looks like Veach has had more than enough of "good enough"
