There are at least six top of the rotation pitchers and a couple of high end relievers going UFA next year. If there is not some spending done, then I think that it will be an admission that Roger's will never again field a competitive team. They could absolutely be the most free spending team in the league if they wanted to.
Locking up Sanchez and Stroman, and then adding Gerrit Cole and Kenley Jansen (or whatever permutation) would do a lot to show the fans that they care.
