Jude on the Naylor situation

[Donn Beach]

The mariners aren't the Rockies or the Angels, but they aren't the Braves or the Brewers either. They're somewhere in between. He can say what he wants but like i said before, I think the goal is more like being over. 500 for a decade. It really is kind of interesting how mediocre baseball generally is. Play 162 games and being ten games over. 500 is an accomplishment

Missing the Playoffs is never an accomplishment

It doesn't matter if it's for a season or a decade. The point is he's never going for it he's never trying to win 60% of his games which would guarantee you a playoff spot. That's the sustainability. He thinks if he goes for 60%, he's bound to eventually have a terrible year or two or three. And that ruins the sustainability algorithm.

[D-train]

The irony is that with his strategy which he thought was so brilliant they only won 46% this season and failed miserably at his stated goal of sustainability.

Is firing your entire coaching staff a part of the sustainability model???

It doesn't seem like those coaches were able to do anything for Julio though. I know he has his own hitting coach, the same guy that a lot of the big name Latin players use. I wonder if that's helpful or not.

The comment wasn't about trying to win a certain percentage of their games.

one year, you’re going to win 60 percent, another year you’re going to win 50 percent. It’s whatever it is.

Here is a good example of Sustainability and 54% vs. taking a risk and going for it that had nothing to do with money.

Signed Naylor to 5 x 18.5M vs. Murakami for 2 x $17M

Going to pay Naylor almost 3x more but thought he was the safer bet because he had MLB success albeit with a low ceiling.

2026 WAR
Murakami 2.3

Naylor -0.2

Both Naylor and Cal having surgeries
