Lerner has been selling their better players for years

hence why they are worse with each passing year.

Lerner wants Lambert to restructure the wage budget and blend in the kids, not surprising that they're struggling to be honest.

I don't feel any sympathy for him because it was his choice to leave, but he left for a terrible scenario.
