Something just snapped.

I hear they have an offer to trade him for two junior high kids who are thinking about playing baseball in high school.

It’s been one year. McLane sabotaged the roster for 7 seasons, probably longer. Luhnow is simply doing what McLane was too much of a coward to do in 2006.

But I am losing faith in this group. And 2016 is a long way off.

Smart. Fire Luhnow!!!! Loud noises!!!

Although I’m surprised they didn’t trade him for three high schoolers with no potential.
