I'm of the opinion that it's time to look outside the organization to beef up the pitching.
The offense should be more than fine for the rest of the year and in 2024. I'm not so sure about the staff.
Having young arms is a wonderful thing, but sometimes a young staff needs a solid vet at the top or in the middle to teach them how to be major leaguers. Pitchers rarely arrive in MLB ready to be dominant. Inning-eating middle relievers should be a not brainer. If they'd have invested in the pen this year, they could be fairly solid divisional contenders.
