With that said, you don't know how the next couple years will go, and this really could have been your best chance.
Would hate to look back and regret not making a move after all.
Here's to hoping they at least make a move in the offseason if there's an opportunity to improve the rotation and/or bullpen.
I especially want to see how Greene and Lodolo factor into the rotation once they're back.
Ideally, the rotation is Greene, Ashcraft, Abbott, Lodolo, and Williamson to start next year, then have Connor Phillips planned as a long reliever if he's not already pushing someone for one of the starting spots.
The offseason approach will be interesting.
They may not need a ton, but they have needs, regardless. They also have a laughable payroll once Votto and Moose drop off the books.
If we get another winter of crying poor and bitching about payroll and resources, then there's no hope for this ownership group.
