The bigger miss on the timing is that, had this been done last Sunday, maybe FA looks differently and there is another body or two already in the building.  

Can still get Teven Jenkins (unlikely), Brandon Scherff, will Hernandez, Jon feliciano, dalton risner….

Multi-player deals, especially with players like Chase and Tee, take time. People have no patience anymore.
