I think it was a combo. Waiting on young players to be ready, then striking in free agency when they are.
Hence why we just splurged in free agency now. Lots of teams have done it the way the Reds just did it.
The Astros were terrible for years. Same with the Royals. They stock up on good prospects, then utilize free agency when the time is right.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
