I see a middle of the road playoff team, at best. You’d be left with a franchise that has no futures to trade to improve the roster elsewhere, no ELC talent that can meaningfully contribute in this competitive window, so you’d need to hit the UFA market to add core pieces to the team, which would be both risky and cost prohibitive.
That roster WITH some futures to trade and/or prospect capital it’s a different story. But we are so deficient based on management miscalculating the potential of this core, moves of this magnitude will bring on more mediocrity and only prolong the inevitable if you ask me.

That’s why I said the real answer was to tank for 2022 and 23. The lineup is really the best you can do otherwise if everything went perfectly.
