The Victor Victor Mesa saga.

That's a good one. Seems like forever ago now, but it was talked about ad nauseam until Mesa signed in October last year with the Marlins.

I don’t know about that one, I think that was more about wanting the org to spend money in the Caribbean, more so then it being about the Mesa brothers.

We have a chunk of international money left. Like around $3 million. If there is any Cuban defector this offseason, it will be the same discussion.  As it should be.

And the goddamn "window", whatever that is.

Whether it's worth spending more money for a few more wins and a more "entertaining" product.
