Hearing from Shapiro for the first time this year, there wasn't much to read into aside from the payroll likely being slightly smaller, and his comments about having a good core. I think it'll mean eventually is a signing of a big name player and Vlad, and the eventual trade of Bo this off-season. It's really hard to say this because Bo's been a professional in his time here but the open questions to reporters about potentially welcoming being elsewhere likely means he's gone. It's a shame because his bat was special, especially being an infielder. Certainly sounds like a retool from Shapiro. If Ross stays or goes, I don't think has been determined yet.
