CY has got to go
Im sorry, but these past 3 years for me have been nothing but one word for Chris- "Potential".
He keeps thinking that this team still has world series potential like in 2023 but its clear that the WS runners are not as they were and will not get to that point again.
We need a rebuild and CY doesnt want to do that. So my solution? We fire him so that way we can actually have someone who wants to build a world series winning team.

1) He’s limited by what ownership is willing to spend
2) We unloaded a lot of our young assets in pursuit of our WS title
3) Rebuilding in baseball isn’t like rebuilding in basketball or football. More than any other sport, the MLB draft is a complete crapshoot.
What would you have done differently given the constraints by ownership and the contracts already given out?

Tell the owner that we need to spend more. But thats just my opinion, because Ray has been sitting on money that we could be spending.

Well the owner is going to spend based on the circumstances surrounding him, and impending lockout + TV deal chaos + overspending for a WS is just about the worst combination you could think up.

And replace him with whom? You can only do so much when handcuffed to what you have. Look at the rest of the AL right now. It's not like anyone else is doing any better.

Replace him with someone who has a better vision? Why are you locked into CY?

u/Malisyn Malisyn 21d ago
Yeah, you can't even give a real answer. WHO? Not what kind of person. You think there's some magical GM out there that can wave a wand and make any move he wants and get Davis to sign on?
Someone with a better vision...pff. How generic of an answer can you give? I'm not saying CY needs to stay. I'm just saying that unless you can come up with a realistic name that would be a better choice, let's not overreact.

Ask any fandom for a GM in waiting and let me know what they say. No one is scouting GMs. No one knew who JD was or that CY was a candidate. Get over yourself. Look at the results.

u/Malisyn Malisyn 21d ago
Haha, get iver myself. Right. Because I'm the one acting like I knows best for the team, right? I'm the one acting like I know the behind the scenes mechanics, right?
You're so right. GMs just fall out of the sky. They should hire you since you have it all figured out better than everyone else. If they fire CY, I could care less. But if they do, it's gonna be because they already know what they're gonna do. Not just fire him to fire him.

He’s put together a decent roster. The players have just sucked.

Do we know that CY doesn’t want to rebuild or is it our asshat of an owner Ray Davis?

How much longer till Davis kicks the you know what?

These types hold on like Mitch McConnell

u/hotrod19812 J. Hamilton 22d ago
I don't like that. Evil people with no redeeming qualities seem to live longer lives for some strange reason. Think of fictional examples like Mr. Burns on The Simpsons.

How do you expect to rebuild when your best trade pieces exercise their no trade clause?

u/mannyklein 22d ago
That was one player this year, and the rumored trade was horrible. Guys like Pederson should’ve been sent out for a bag of peanuts

u/Tylerplays897 22d ago
As much as I respect that, if you're gonna exercise that clause then your ass better get your shit together and do something good for the team instead of just holding them back.

u/Zookeepergame_Sorry 22d ago
To be fair, deGrom earned the right to that clause and though he publicly said he believes in this team, he may have other reasons for not wanting to move midseason too. Whatever his reason for exercising it, he deserves to make that call.

K. What does that have to do with CY?
He tried to sell at the deadline. The players had the power and said no.
Seems like your anger should be directed at them instead.

u/CaughtALiteSneez I. Rodriguez 22d ago
He tried to sell one player and got rid of Josh Smith which wasn’t a win in my book

Honestly that might be it. Im just so pissed at the fact that we are still keeping the same people that have shown are not ass good as they were during 2023 and not actually doing something about that.

u/d1sportsball J. Hamilton 22d ago
Like who? Who is worse now than they were in 2023 that also has any trade value?
Carter is worse, so much worse he has 0 trade value
Evo is worse, but he has a full no trade clause
Seager is worse, but at the time of the deadline any trade would either be a salary dump or taking on the brunt of his salary for prospects

u/Environmental_Mix200 22d ago
Downvote, because CY is not the problem..
Ownersip/management mismanaged media rights after winning a world series.
CY is possibly the only guy that could save the rangers from being Miami/Athletics.
I don't have enough knowledge about the transactions he has made, neither does anyone else.
The house has been on fire for three years and he has kept us in the playoffs through 156.
God bless CY and let's figure out the tv revenue

u/jeffmack01 Ryan 21d ago
he has kept us in the playoffs through 156
Credit for that firmly lies with the rest of the AL, not with CY. If we were in the NL with our current record, we'd be 9 games out of the last wild card spot and would have effectively been eliminated from playoff contention 3 weeks ago. Not to mention, if we were in the NL, our record would probably be much, much worse.
I'm not (yet) on the "fire CY" train, but he most certainly doesn't deserve this level of veneration.

Well if any one needs to go it's Kipp Fagg, the scouting director. Since he took over in 2009, we've only had three "homegrown" all stars. (Jung, Gallo, Latz). Not mention we have one of lowest war from drafted players. Only the giants are worse in that regard.
