At some point he has to start executing at a better level than he has been. If his trade deadline activity is just gaining late round picks off UFA trades, then that’s where I think I transition into the “yeah, okay - fire the guy”. I think it’s fair to start expecting Trleiving to execute at a higher level than he has to date.
Making the "big" moves now limits the amount of teams that can both afford and desire JG or any of the big slried guys.

Waiting until there is a larger demand for services leads to better compensation. Supply and demand and all that.

Unless there is a deal that you dont think can be matched, or surpassed, in the off season, you hold on to your assets and maximize them when you have more team interested/able to add them to their rosters.

Its just logical to do so.
