Are the Rockies the worst org in the MLB? I’d say yes

[glory]

Why in the world did the Rockies trade Arenado for horse s*** only to turn around and spend on vastly inferior talent instead? Why not just keep Arenado, try to re-sign Story, and go from there?

 

What an awful organization.

Yup

I want to say the Angels or the Mariners, but you could make a compelling case for the Rockies.

How are the Mariner’s so awful?

Lmao wat

 

WTF. They're a last place team and he's a mediocre 37-year old reliever. How do you now just take the best offer you can get for him before the deadline?

Stupidity

The Mariners aren't close to the worst-run team right now: Rockies, Angels, Reds, Cubs, White Sox, Nationals, D'Backs, Athletics, and Royals are all clearly worse IMO. And you can make a case for at least the Red Sox, Rangers, Twins, Padres, Pirates. Current Mariners are a middle-of-the road org. Maybe a bit above average.

Angels maybe Mariners no

[Solaxys]

Judge hit 42, holy moly. He's hitting 1-2 every f***ing game at this point.

They have missed the playoffs for 20 consecutive seasons and are perhaps the worst run organisation in the history of baseball. They are average at this very moment if that is the only criteria, but I was looking at a combination of both. Others appear to have looked at it differently.

200th of his career as well.

They seem to have drafted and traded pretty well in the past number of years. They have a very solid core of pitchers and depth. I don't think the current Team reflects the past 20 years..

Rox trade us Tapia for Grichuk. And added a nice prospect. They are f***ing awful org

[Terminator]

Anytime you get the chance to lock up an oft-injured 37 year old reliever with a career 4.00 ERA you gotta do it.

[Spanky__99]

Valdez pooping against the M's, at least it's the first inning.

[G-Snarls]

It warms my cold heart to see Boston in last place, 2 full games behind Baltimore going into the trade deadline

[FantasyNewb]

I thought at the time that we lost that trade?

Have to be at least tied for that award if the question is "which MLB org is the least competent right now?"

 

Angels being 42-58 with their payroll required woeful incompetence.

 

Several other sad/sorry organizations but the Rockies and Angels seem the least competent. Like if you gave CIN or PIT a bit more payroll, they probably don't look so pathetic.

Which is worse

 

1. Paying to get rid of the best third baseman in baseball then giving big $ to Bryant right after.

 

2. Being unable to manage even a 500 season while having the best player in the world and the best two way player in history (the latter of which you pay very little money to)

It's a shame. Coors Field is an awesome ballpark and one of my favourites!

This tweet from yesterday makes me think it couldnt happen to a better team.

It was a sarcastic troll post

Spanky told me that they had a better pitching staff than ours during this month. I wonder if he still feels the same way.

Jeffrey Springs would be Boston's best starter, but one of their first moves of the Chaim Bloom era was trading him for Ronaldo Hernandez, who sucks.

Anyone else find it takes like 20 seconds for a post to finish, and then it shows up twice?

Yup. I usually hit post and then refresh right away and it posts once

Not since that series against the Yankees and Toronto. They did have a better staff statistically than us at the time of my post... meh.

There was very little talent, a lot of luck, and a depleted bullpen on that team. I was looking more at talent and sustainability. You know a guy like Berrios wasn't going to stay down.
