This interview with Reggie Jackson should scare the shit of everyone. Flat out, he says that he is on a committee with Bagwell, Biggio and Crane, implying they’re now the true decision makers, not our GM. Confirming our worst fears, Dana is just a yes man and the analytics department no longer drives the decision making process. Crane and the committee of has been players have gutted what made us great. Biggio, Bagwell and Reggie are old school baseball guys — they’re a relic of a bygone day. They’re the worst guys out there to rely on to build a team in 2024.
@Wulaw Horn was the sole voice here crying out in the wilderness during the offseason after we won in the WS. The rest of us were still basking in the glow of the WS win and downplayed the decisions made that offseason that have proven to be a disaster. Bagwell hates analytics — his mindset has infected the entire organization, it’s the reason why the dynasty has crumbled and the championship window is now closed. Crane has become Jerry Jones. Welcome to baseball hell.
