The farm system has actually gotten much better (though there's obviously room for much improvement, especially in the scouting). Granted, you can't really go anywhere but up from completely awful, but still.
Why would the sale get rid of Hendry? He got that extension. From the ownership in place. I'm hoping the new owner is smart enough to see what an awful job Jim has done and that basically all he has done is out spend the rest of the division. The extension makes that tremendously unlikely. What year is it through? I'm guessing new ownership gives Hendry this upcoming offseason, and his future will depend on where the team is by next June/July. Did he get a 2-year or 3-year extension? I'm blanking.
