This season has been unreal...tamper the expectations and let's just try to enjoy the remainder of this run. The entire ballclub is in good hands with Shapiro and AA running the show now.

The key is Rogers committing to fielding a winning team, without that it doesn't matter what Shapiro and AA do.
We will see next year. Essentially the entire 1 through 9 is back so they should be a favorite. Rogers needs to give AA the funds necessary to get two quality starters to go with Sanchez, Stroman, and Osuna (depending upon what they decide with Osuna), and the funds necessary to restock the entire bullpen. We can't go two months next year without a closer like we did this year. If Osuna stays as the closer, than AA needs to sign 2 quality starters and a 5th rotation guy.
