I’m afraid he’s just a con man placating the masses still convinced he’s right. Unfortunately all we can do is watch and see.

He has to reflect, and it seems he did. It seems to me that he identified his shortcomings correctly. What he does with that information is what matters.

When he addressed free agency, it seemed to me that his pause was there because he did not want to let it out what he has planned, but I think we see him more active in the trade market than before, and tries to do the trades like for Buckner, which was a definite home run.
