IDK... Marlins did it in 2003 but that might be old methods.
It hasn't worked for Yankess of late.

100% agree. The "home grown" teams are the long-term best teams in MLB. They then add 1 or 2 at the trade deadline to resolve gaps and go far in the playoffs each year.

Astros have been the most successful at this lately.

and they didn't even bring back the gm, how is that even possible offer him a 1 year deal what a slap in face

That GM got screwed. The owner is taking advice on player moves from Biggio, Bagwell, and Reggie Jackson. Why? Those where his baseball idols. What a joke.

I’m betting in 2-3 years Astros will start losing more due to the owner acting like Jerry Jones.

I see what they're thinking

Team finished 4th in AL in tubs per game.

Perez was only pitcher w a winning record, and he was great w sub 3 era.

Now you have a legit top 3 man rotation w a powerful offense. They'll be in position July to add and you might have a 95 win team here
