I think waiting at the deadline to go “all in” is just a bad strategy. You never know who is available and how much they will cost. With the current playoff structure there are less assets overall to acquire and the very good ones you are likely going to overpay for them. Spend some money between now and Feb. Sign two legit starting pitchers like Burns and/or Blake Snell and get a veteran power hitter. That maybe Santander or someone else.
It' so funny that even with new ownership, Burnes is already written off and not even in the conversation. Don't even waste your energy he is gone! When we need starting pitching depth. Very telling. Oh but we are going to sign some other guys to "upgrade" the staff.......without Burnes. Sure they are. Wake me up when they are willing to pay the freight for a legit TOR starter. What you need to actually compete with the best, who have them in multiples.

Surprised this wasn’t already posted. Potential bold statement, of course let’s see how they put it in practice. Maybe it means go all in one year and acquire at the deadline. Or maybe it means a payroll north of 150M consistently.
