It will play out like it should. Allen will be gone before midseason. The question is whether Loomis is also out. I'd say that's very slim. Need someone new picking the next HC and a brand new FO strategy.
Take the hit. Unload the deadweight and reset and maybe be relevant in 3-4 years.
To me a successful season would be for ownership and the FO to accept reality and quit being delusional.
