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.

Maybe it means nothing.

Start by signing Burnes. Then I’ll believe anything he says.

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.

That's nice.
