The 2030 team basically recruited every top kid at that age, they’re gonna make serious noise (until the kids realize there’s only 1 ball and they leave post-World Series)

Kids will start leaving on their own as they realize they are replaceable. No kid loyalty. They will continue to recruit and bring kids on rather than developing the kids and creating a sense of team. They did it with last years teams. HHH 2025 worked because the coach stayed with them through middle school and high school and the kids wanted to play together. That is how you develop a good team.
