"The Buccos are not one big bat away from contending. Even when they were a playoff team, they operated on the fringe of the free-agent market. In the midst of a rebuild, they might not sign anyone to an MLB deal."

What in earth do we need a GM for if he does not sign anyone to MLB deal? Just save the money and give it to BOB.

To keep up appearances.
Without a GM, people might think that the F.O. doesn't care how the team does. They don't, but no GM makes it even more obvious.

He has signed guys to MLB deals. They're just not MLB players.

Well, I have been told that Seven Springs is in need of a new Ski Lift and they need a new snow making machine due to climate change.

It hardly snowed last winter so that certainly didn't make it easier on him. Normally I wouldn't care what that would mean to his bottom line but I feel badly for his employees at his resorts, and the workers at outlying businesses, who lost wages because of the lack of snow.

2.5 for the Braves and Smyly.
