Continued sucking. It's time to clean the cupboard and NOT blame players/managers.
116 win season? 4 straight 90+ win seasons. From 96 to 2003 one could argue they were the most successful baseball franchise outside the Yankees. The franchise hasn't always been crap. And it managed to lose its core players in that era and replace them with a whole new line up and bounce to a record setting season. That's the GM and players.
GMs have a very big input on the direction of the team. Jack Z had a specific philosophy, based on some sort of combination of analytics and old school roster creation that altered the roster significantly over a 5 year period. He wanted young players to mix with a certain veteran presence. It didn't work. That's on him, and the players.
