I think he'd be right not to. I know baseball playoffs is shorter and anything can happen but it's super unlikely that suddenly almost everything aligns. I don't think we can expect much from players coming off long term injury to have it all together (Ryu and Green). Truly this should be a wait and see approach at best to create a sustainable winner for years instead of going all in for one or two pushes.
Regarding Teoscar, it really sounds like they'll get him or it'll disappoint Vlad. Frankly I'm shocked they're looking into it and not squashing it before it gets too loud. While he may not come at a premium there is some type of price and what about the off-season? Are they going to let him walk? It's such a stop gap idea hoping for lightning in a bottle to hit from nostalgia. If they do this move I know they are more or less just hoping something works which again, isn't a plan. I'd be very disappointed.
