We’d all love the Atlanta model but that model is nearly impossible to replicate. They signed Acuna for $100K and he turned into an MVP while signing one of the most team-friendly long term deals in sports history. And then Albies did the same along with Harris.I'm on board with Breslow's quote, and the posters who have cited the Atlanta model. That's what I want to see.
I was looking for something about Theo's "$100 million player development machine" (which I'm still eagerly awaiting) and I found this:

Lots of familiar names there-was this a SoSh Q&A with Theo? @philly sox fan was asking the same question 20 years ago-where is my PDM?
I think the Rangers model is more of our sweet spot. Some heavy FA spending combined with cheap farm talent and the occasional surprise like Adolis was.
