The problem now is there is only one course of direction due to circumstance. Rogers isn't going to let Atkins and/or Shapiro lead a rebuild most likely, but they are in place for this season. So those two will only go one direction this season and that's try to sign every one they can and patch together a team that they believe can squeak into a wildcard spot to keep their jobs.

Bo is gone, imo. So my guess is we'll see a couple filler/silly free agents at big dollars after we lose out on all the real ones, and then they'll hand Vladdy massive contract out of desperation to not let him go to free agency, while not trading Bo because making the playoffs this year is too critical to them keeping their jobs.
