Seems like a recent development - around the time everything else broke - that they ALL have gone pull heavy.

It's also the logical conclusion of firing 80% of their NBA reporters (including Pablo!), being left primarily with personalities and glorified PR people with agent/team connections.03 Sep 2026 12:38 +0000at://did:plc:blxixwktleit4tfjibtlq5v2/app.bsky.feed.post/3mumhqsltwc25https://bsky.app/profile/the-dunadan.bsky.social/post/3mukyyfztwk25EVERBODY.

Don't see, nor really want, Kjerstad taking ABs from Beavers/Cowser or Basallo (DH). My soapbox with him is that I don't think SilentJ can catch up to MLB velo, & haven't seen anything in NOR to change that belief.
