Well.......
On the bright side, we did move a 34 year old with 59 million remaining for 4 prospects and a replacement arm. (lost Caratini too tho)
Thing is, the prospects are really really young, so rather than help in 2021-22-23, they are more likely to help in like 2024 or 2025. (unless we trade them at later dates)
Now rumors of us trading Contreras are out there.
It's funny, this thread was created as we were on the cusp of turning the corner. We won in 2016 and had the ultimate credit with ownership. Now, 4 years later, I would spit in Ricketts face. He's crying broke like we're the God damn Tampa Rays. Inexcusable.
IF, this is the path, then do it right. Flip Willy, flip Bryant, flip Baez etc. Completely reset the payroll AND the farm system. Apparently we aren't going to sign any of them anyways, so just pull the trigger now.
That said, it is possible they flip 1-2 of them, and maybe extend one, like maybe Javy.
