You don’t have to defend Joe Cronin

I know a lot of people can’t handle the thought that this franchise is in a nose dive, but it’s true. This is not a good sign. Our ownership is bad, our front office is looking terrible and our coaching staff looks underwhelming.

This is a bad bad bad trade and a signal for bad bad bad things to come. We are not a market that’s in the position to just be handing out any talent without receiving viable assets back. Norm is a very solid player on a very solid long term contract. We absolutely should have gotten a first round pick for him.

There are very few realistic situations where this turns out to be a positive trade. You guys seriously don’t have to defend it.
