Of course we would pick up KP?s option, but not extending him when he was eligible put the player and org at odds last year, which culminated in his trade.
Not picking up these options would?ve messed with these kids, probably to the point they tune Fiz out by December.
This doesn?t mean they won?t trade them
in 3 months or that they are buying into their long term futures...
Just a smart play from a team that hasn?t made many smart moves the previous 20 seasons.
For a team bereft of talent, doesn?t hurt to spend 15 mil or so to buy some time before decisions need to be made.
The mantra always is in sports, if talent doesn?t flash after 3 years.... most likely it never will.
