"When you have $50 million to spend, you should be more selective... But that leaves 70 percent of the other signings who are not producing for the roster, and they cost a combined $27 million."
"General manager Mike Rizzo didn't sign any top ranked free agents, even though he had $50 million to spend. It was the same ole same ole of going for quantity and 'hoping and praying' that some worked out."
The article critiques the Washington Nationals' offseason strategy, revealing that General Manager Mike Rizzo opted for a quantity-over-quality approach with free agency. Despite having a substantial budget of $50 million, Rizzo signed mostly lower-tier players, including re-signings and bargain deals, leaving 70% of the new signings underperforming on the roster. The author argues that with a larger budget, Rizzo should have pursued more selective, quality trades and signings to bolster the teamâs competitiveness rather than relying on unproven players.
