He’s certainly better than Mendoza, but I think they could’ve done better. Continuing to start Alvarez, and slotting Vientos at cleanup are pretty bad decisions
At this point in the season it doesn't matter much if Alvarez or Torrens starts. With regard to Vientos, playing him some at least has the merit of increasing his near-zero trade value in the event he gets hot, like Luis Robert did which at least allowed them to save some money when he was picked up.
That's a great start. Now the most important task is replacing Stearns, crafter of the worst team money could buy.
Congratulations and best wishes for a successful 2027 season! Don't change, you seem to have the right stuff!!
Green light on Green. Check.

Those decisions probably came from Blunder Boy Davey.

Managers are hired and fired. For Green's sake I hope he has a clause in his contract to return to his old gig when the ax inevitably comes down.
The only down side would be a vacancy he leaves as director of player development. Obviously he was doing well in that role.
Great news!
At least there is continuity because if you are trying to attract talent its vital to have a settled situation.
