We absolutely do need to replace Yimi but the guys at the far back of the 'pen can be replaced with a pre-arb arm from the minors so we can use the payroll to upgrade elsewhere. Romero and Swanson will be better next year with the injury healed and Swanson's season prep not derailed by his son almost dying.
We can spend payroll upgrading the 7th/8th spot in the bullpen or we can spend it addressing the lack of offense... I'd rather spend it on the offense.
