It's also not a guarantee that they'll be in a playoff spot at the deadline. This isn't the Vegas Golden Knights that are good enough to get in with a couple of stars out "injured". They barely made it last year with essentially zero injuries to pitchers, and the offense is worse on paper, imo. It's likely cheaper to add a power bat at the deadline, but I can also see them not doing that either because they're out or the cost is too high.
