Anyone who thinks otherwise must be satisfied with mediocrity and ineptness. It was reported they tried to get a deal done before the season but didn't come to terms, he was open to signing then. We know this, full stop. So you are wrong.

And the number to get Johnny signed in the last off-season was probably laughable given the prior years performance. We also have no idea how Johnny would have performed this year if that extension was in place.
This risk was well known all year, including at the TDL - were you suggesting a trade then? You're just playing captain hindsight and it's pathetic.
FWIW I've favoured trying to trade Johnny since Jan 2019. Once his NTC kicked in it became less viable. The biggest mistake here was that NTC clause, but even then it wouldn't have mattered given how events have played out.
