I think there is a BT issue, though.
Clearly his hands are tied on rebuild, but there were trades to be made this off-season if the mandate is playoffs. Buchnevich is one that comes to mind that filled a need and cost wasn’t prohibitive.
In all my years as a fan, this off-season has made the least sense. I don’t have faith in the direction and the talk seems to defer action at each critical juncture. If you don’t make all your moves at the deadline, it’s the draft. If you don’t make all your moves at the draft, you can plug holes in free agency. If you don’t hit home runs on free agency, it’s a long off-season yet. A few years running now, and here we are, on the cusp of key players hitting free agency with very little direction to show for it.
