What else can Mark Shapiro do? Trade the stars for prospects, sign them long-term, and hope to contend in another two or three years. It's a perpetual cycle. Same boat Billy Bean is in over at Oakland.
You want Grady Sizemore? Asdrubal Cabrera? Just wait a couple years. You'll get them.
But ever since 2002, when Jeffery Loria took over, they have kept the team in contention for a long time. And we have had winning seasons for the last 3 years.
