You're making the offensive situation sound much more dire than it actually is. And the whole point of stripping it down to the studs and rebuilding with a bevy of young hitting prospects is that you trust your analysis/scouting and you bank on them improving. I would say it worked out pretty well with Henderson and Rutschman last season, no? A full season with Westburg and Kjerstad in particular in the lineup should offer a pretty significant bosot to the offense. And you'll also likely be adding another solid bat to the lineup in Holliday mid-season. For a team that we all suspect has a glass ceiling budget there's absolutely no reason to spend a portion of those precious dollars on a MOO bat. Not when they have much more glaring needs on the pitching side. -

Well if Holty was a wizard, Frenchy could be a sorcerer? -

lol. Saying no to this deal is insanity. The Mets would laugh at this offer and 28 other teams would beat it. -
I think there’s a fair chance that Ortiz and one of Kjerstad/Cowser have significant roles at the start of the season. As for the hole in the rotation, Cease isn’t the only answer. If the Orioles don’t add a good starter and Ortiz, Cowser, and Kjerstad are in AAA, you might be on to something. -
I see the boost in the offense coming from Westburg, Ortiz and Holliday with Cowser as the fourth outfielder. They will be replacing Frazier, Urias and McKenna. Later in the season Kjerstad and Mayo could be promoted. -

I don’t mean it as a negative, but I think there is enough interest that teams will need to make aggressive bids and I just don’t see Elias outbidding a team like the Dodgers who are far more willing to trade high end prospects, especially ones that may be blocked. Seems like Elias would rather burn through a prospect’s utility in AAA to ensure proper depth than take some risk and move somewhat redundant pieces to fill a hole with impact talent.
