Yeah, I agree with Cross16's assessment of the roster vs the budget, but the unfortunate thing is that's what we have to work with. You take away Martin or Tulo or Donaldson and you're opening up huge holes that we'd just have to fill anyways.
Redvan is right that the roster is what it is and you can either dismantle it and start over, go all in on a championship and face the consequences or maximize TV/gate revenue by doing the best you can without going over an internal budget that doesn't quite allow you to go for it.
We're doing the latter, which is kind of unfortunate. Obviously we'll all still be here cheering for the best, but this route requires lots of things to go right and likely leaves no room for key injuries.
