On paying the tax, it's my understanding that paying it three years in a row is very punitive Archived Message

So I think you want to try and achieve two years paying it, then one year not to reset, and then pay it again for two years. I know internally we always targeted this year as the first true contending year, last year being a year if things went well, we'd be frisky. So I think in Jed's ideal world he'd start paying it in 2025, 2026, then reset it in 2027, then pay again in 2028, 2029. On why 2019 was the most disappointing, yes the payroll being #2, adding Darvish to a rotation with Lester, Hendricks, Quintana, and Hamels. They traded for Castellanos, fully went for it, had a +98 run differential and only won 84 games. Just brutal.
