I didn’t really think about it. But there was a bit of LeFebvre-led talk about how Melendez was prepping to play OF and C next year. I wouldn’t expect conversation around that if they were planning to move Perez. But, as painful as it is to think about, I would understand them moving Perez.

Perez unfollowed the team when they didn't hire Pedro Grifol...he followed then back later but thar isn't a great look obviously.

It's easier for the Rays to trade players when you have no fan base to appease.

They're gone. Can we stop with this caricature? They were clearly incompetent at doing the one thing their job required - making their talent excel at the major league level. That's it. Period. End. Move on.

Coach the younger pitchers more effectively and see what differences that makes. If it doesn't make any, you know your pitching draft and develop plan as an org from 2018-20 failed, and you adjust and move on.

Does that necessarily have to be serialized, though? Can you not assess both and move to improve both simultaneously? I mean, this to me seems a little short sighted, and comes across as pointing the finger\blaming Matheny and Eldred solely. I don't think it's all on them based off the track record through the minors of a lot of these guys.

They're just not going to make long-term commitments until they have a chance to assess with competent coaching. Bubic and Lynch were both pretty successful in the minors and have not translated it to the majors. I think you can make a very fair case that their major league coaching (which includes side work as well as game to game strategy and focus) was poor under Mamoron's regime.
