I think this is the main issue. The negative fans don't have a huge issue with this years team (although I do agree they did a disservice going into the year with this bullpen) but I think it's more we've seen how Rogers operates over the past 35 years.
If they open the wallet and signed EE, and at least make an effort to replace the other 2 with SOMETHING, I think it will go a long way to rebuilding the trust.

I'd like to see them sign EE but I don't know what level of interest he has to return. It has to be mutual interest.
Re-signing Jose and Saunders though could be more harmful than beneficial, even if they can't replace them with other bats.
So I will not be dissapointed if Jose and Saunders aren't re-signed. But I would be disappointed if they don't plug those holes to some degree.
But that's also an off-season problem and shouldn't detract from enjoying a fun season of baseball with a damn good team.
