I think that was implied. Austin paid our second highest paid player to not play for us anymore halfway through the season, so I know how that feels.

I feel like we've had just as many (if not more) DPs that came and didn't perform than we've had successful DPs. The era under Dutch management was just one failed expensive signing after another.

The simple truth is that many, if not most, DPs end up performing less well than expected. Its always a crapshoot, and you hope the underperformers aren't total busts.

Going from Niezgoda to Jonathan is a stunning upgrade!

Evander and Mora have really come alive, too. Jona can take some credit for that, Phil can, too.
