Okay so two unrelated thoughts: 
1. As a Mets fan growing up, when we got Willie Mays our view was a mixture of excitement but disappointment that we got him when he was relatively late career.
2. Transfer portal - I am tempering my reaction by remembering that this year is likely an aberration due to pent-up demand. There is a one-time transfer without sitting out so next year it should return to more of a regular quantity. That is when we'll have a better sense of whether this is impactful (or to rephrase others' views, whether it really is ruining the game). So no need to say the sky is falling at this point.
