The offseason is heating up, and with it comes the annual ritual of teams announcing their interest in free agents they ultimately don’t sign. This year, the Angels snagged Travis d’Arnaud, but the Rays were reportedly in on him too. This brings us to the intriguing concept of the We Tried phenomenon in MLB.
Why do teams feel the need to publicly declare their interest in players they miss out on? Is it a way to save face, or perhaps a strategy to signal to fans and other free agents that they are still in the game? It’s a bizarre yet fascinating aspect of the sport that raises some interesting questions.
What are your thoughts on this practice? Do you think it’s a smart move for teams to announce their interest, or does it come off as desperate? Have you ever felt a personal connection to a player that your team “tried” to sign?
Let’s also make some bold predictions: which teams do you think will have the most “We Tried” moments this offseason? Will the Blue Jays be the ones left holding the bag again, or will they finally land a big fish?
Join the conversation and share your experiences with the We Tried saga. How do you think it impacts team dynamics and fan perceptions? Let’s dive into the absurdity of it all and see where this offseason takes us!
