Nope. Shapiro is still gainfully employed by them.

hey they haven't signed a (below) replacement level player to a 3-year deal yet. so there's that.

Virtually no one aside the Yanks, Angels and Marlins have done anything, there are still a ton of players left.
So let's wait until they actually pay the shitty Cargo as a bounce back option before we condemn them. Waiting out the market seems to be the smart strategy here, especially after rushing into the stale Cubano last year.

Problem is that we might wait the whole off-season and doing nothing would suck too.
But at the very least, we need to wait to see where guys like Cain, Bruce, etc.. end up before jumping to conclusions. Ink Cain for 4/60 and suddenly our off-season looks ok.

they aren't going to do nothing, they are waiting out prices like everyone else, and certain guys that lead their markets need to sign first.
Martinez and Cain in the OF, then opens the door for Cargos, Bruce, Dyston etc
Darvish for the SP

It's an "okay" move, but jesus, these guys are as slow as molasses making moves and have done jack since arriving here.

the price is good value but once again we're targetting bench guys with legit contracts instead of good starters. ah well, it's exactly what i expected.

Yeah - I don't mind Solarte, but Pearce and Solarte are expensive bench players. Doesn't seem like the best use of limited resources.
