@BobbyMilone29: “Lagrange was a SP that they tried to make a RP Now their plan is to make SPs Warren Weather and Schmidt into RPs Yeah thats going to work”
@risucci_rick: “Most likely, Lagrange takes it slow & builds back up to a starter whenever next season resumes.”
@nelson1193: “So what was the point of trading away the depth? Cashman literally made the team worse”
