I was perplexed by the that move for Varsho as well. And I was never a fan of letting AA go and be replaced by these guys. AA moved on and predictably did well everywhere he went, culminating in a Braves WS a couple of years ago. Was the same thing in letting Dubas replace Lou for the Leafs.

And another example was Montreal Impact letting Wilifred Nancy go, even though he lead them to their best record, and went to Columbus. Was replaced by a coach with more international experience and all that BS and they just fired that guy. Well, well, well, Nancy just won the MLS Cup in his first season the Crew. And Montreal also did this when they came within a whisker of reaching the final in 2017. Biello lead them there and they replaced him and they did jack all between him and Nancy. Biello is a local. Nancy came from France to play for UQAM and has basically been a Montrealer since so basically another local.

Time and time again we see dumb ass personnel moves from those at the top and I love it when it backfires. I love it for players too. When teams sign guys to horrendous contracts and it totally flops like Pujols or Bob at the Panthers, Price for the Habs in the NHL. Nothing against those guys though. And trades too like the dumb Subban trade. I always read Therrien was the one pushing for it and they did it and were worse off and Therrien was gone not long after anyway. Subes and Weber were equally good, but different players and different ages. The Habs needed the Suban type player at the time.

As for the Ohtani contract, like pointed out, I don't see it yet as a dumb contract for the reasons pointed out. I still hope they never win a WS even if I'd like to see Ohtani win one. Maybe after 10 years if he signs for a different team. I was glad Kershaw got one. I just rather it happened with a different team.
