My biggest problem with Ross is that he keeps changing the team narrative from slugging to contact and speed. It's obviously good to have a balance in that regard but if you're going to go the Yankees or the Rays route, then stick with one of them. Giminez was three years removed from his only decent offensive season, way too much risk in taking on that contract in hopes he rekindles that one season. Could have found a slick fielding good base running SS for under $5M (maybe even league minimum) at the time and used the money on a corner outfield bat with power, even if it's a platoon bat (preferably LHH as they play more). I'm just spit balling but wasn't Joc Pederson available around that time?
