Does anyone else feel like the "offseason" is becoming a total myth?
It feels like every time I sit down to actually enjoy a game, I'm reading about another sudden roster move or a player being shuffled around just to make room for someone else. It used to be that you knew your core lineup for a good chunk of the year, but now it feels like the front office is playing a never-ending game of musical chairs.
I get that you have to optimize the roster to win, but it makes it so hard to actually get invested in the players. It’s tough to build an emotional connection to a guy when you’re constantly wondering if he’ll even be in the same jersey by next month because of some sudden shake-up.
Do you guys prefer the constant aggressive maneuvering to stay competitive, or do you miss the days when the lineup stayed relatively stable?
