'I know I didn't get a starting pitcher,' Hazen said. 'And that's on me.”
PHOENIX — Even before he publicly flogged his own trade-deadline effort in a postmortem news conference Thursday, general manager Mike Hazen was regretful. “The one thing I didn’t bring back was a starter, which I wish we had done,” Hazen said during batting practice before Game 1 of the World Series. “Having would have helped us a ton. Advertisement “I wish we did more. … You want to cover up every hole you have on your roster. I do. That’s my job, and we didn’t do that.
” It’s not too hard for a front office to fall into a prospect-hoarding and risk-averse M.O. But this World Series was a feather in the cap for those who would yell, “Push the button.” Both Hazen and Rangers counterpart Chris Young advanced their teams in the middle of the year by taking on risk. The results could have been different, of course. But they weren’t adhering to a calculus strictly of probability and long-term value.
