This team is absolutely painful to watch in terms of roster construction. We finally got to the end of the shitty rebuild, and now they can't even add pieces to compliment the team that went to the playoffs. Nothing in return for their closer other than salary dump. A really exciting Cy Young campaign that seemed like it went by in a second only for us to watch the dude leave for a team that truly tries to win. They half-gave up on the current roster, but not quite. This results in a weaker roster with no closer, no rotation depth, and no shortstop.
If they are broke, then they should bail assets rather than try to hold on with a lesser roster. Get something for Castillo. he's got to be worth a king's ransom at his age and price. Get rid of Gray before his injury issues get worse. Suarez, etc, rinse, repeat. They can't even tank the right way, and they definitely aren't trying to get better. if you're going to cut budget, you might as well go all in. With their luck, Castillo will have Tommy John and be worth a bucket of balls by the end of the year.
