Info and stats don’t lie: They’ve the worst file in MLB and it’s not even remotely shut.
They’re a rebuilding workforce with out an elite farm system, even after the commerce deadline, and treasured few constructing blocks.
A lot of their issues stem from above the gamers, supervisor and coaches. Possession and entrance workplace, previous and current, share a few of the blame.
That has all put supervisor Pedro Grifol on the recent seat, with MLB insider Ken Rosenthal saying his time as skipper could also be coming to an finish very quickly.
