I am fine with this. Now it's time to put up or shut up next year. No more "We are so close" talk. It's either time to win or it's over and I think by that time everyone will be in agreement.
So when I read he was guaranteed coming back next year, I felt fine and almost relieved since there won't be this unknown lingering over our heads the next 2-3 weeks. But that feeling was overshadowed by anxiety and fear as I said out loud to myself, almost in tears, "Please don't let this mean Martinez comes back." I can be content and fine with Frost returning next year, doesn't bother me in the least. But if Verdu and Martinez return, I don't think it's worth investing any emotion into this program until 2023.
