Just to be clear, was that quote about "8, 9, 10 years might not be "intelligent spending" from Bruce Levine or Hoyer?
If it was Levine, then he's presumably just speculating. Perhaps we'll find out
Thanks, Ron. Yes, a whole lot of "just speculating" that happens.
I also kinda sympathize with Hoyer re the "intelligent spending" phrase. It seemed perfectly reasonable and appropriate wording in the context of that press conference when I listened to it. But now that gets quoted, often pejoratively, over and over and over. I kinda feel like it's been unfair.
"Perhaps we'll find out" will apply this year if and only if he signs Correa. If he does, obviously we'll know Hoyer was willing to go long. But if he does not, we'll never really know why not. If Correa goes elsewhere, it could be Cubs holding line on years yes; but it could also be a dozen other factors.
