Glad you are able to suppress earlyseason fake optimism on the immortal Jorge Polanco, Colin.

Here's a question for Dipoto et al if you get a chance: "did the underperforming Garver and Hanniger contracts force the M's to not invest in 2025 infield because it's likely M's 2025 depends on Hanniger & Garver?

I'm too lazy to look but didn’t Josh Rojas have a higher 2024 WAR than Jorge? Jorge better than Rojas? B.S.

Don't understand the Rojas cut unless Rojas wanted out. He was gold glove and did ok at leadoff when JP was injured. Why M's immediately put JP back at leadoff after return from injury is worth asking Servais now that Servais is w/Padres. Servais is not that dumb - real teams make injury returns hit their way back up.

JP's post return hitting sucked.

Polanco looked like a statue fielding 2nd on hot stuff. 3rd will be even hotter.

Here's a real question to raise up the media flagpole:

Would current owners consider selling the M's? If "No", then "why a chronic lack of investment in 1st tier position players? Would current owners welcome additional partners to.increase investment and spread risk?

I see current ownership playing out the T-Mobile lease and putting M's on the block, like Schultz did w/Sonics.

Stanton et al are lightweights, like Schultz.
