I have posted previously that I thought the biggest mistake BC made besides not getting more legitimate hitting was not resigning Chapman. I thought it was probable due to the fact that Chapman didn’t want to come back. After reading the attached article, it angers me that BC did not even contact Chapman about returning. He should be fired for that alone. With the season that Chapman is having in Boston we could easily have had 3-5 more wins aready this season if he was still on the roster and battling the Cubs for first instead of residing in the NL Central basement.

I also thought it was more because chapman wanted to leave. But it appears that wasn't the case. But the Pirates just didn't want to pay him. No surprise there.

That is what you lost in Chapman this year.
I don’t inderstand the mind set of BC. Instead of going after quality he continues to pursue a quantity of mediocrity.
Where does that get you?
