After signing Bailey and Hill I think we just need to accept the fact that the rotation is complete for the year. The front office has taken a lot of heat for this but they deserve credit for making the most of an off-season where the circumstances were against them. Wheeler was not leaving the east coast. I’m not sure they found Ryu worth it (and the transition to the American League may not treat him kindly). Bumgarner took a discount and wasn’t even seriously considering anyone else (btw, I wonder what the MLBPA thinks of that? It can’t make them happy). On to Donaldson and if not him, maybe a trade for another position player and wait until the trade deadline or next years free agent class for pitching. What does the 20/21 class of free agents look like?

Front Page: Ryu To Sign with Toronto. Now What?
NatteringNabob replied to John Bonnes's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Thank you so much. Great article as always. Does it seem like all signs point to a trade for a salary dump? With exception of Donaldson (who seems like he’s just using other teams to get something more out of the Braves) there’s no free agent worth a significant investment. But they can’t go into the year with a payroll this low, can they? -
I think you go all in when you have a window open. Sustained mediocrity doesn’t really work and will eventually leave fans disenchanted and disengaged. A roster of Cain, Moustakas, Hosmer, Finnegan, and Manaea would have certainly done better than what Kansas City threw out last year but would it have even gotten a wild card or advanced into the playoffs? Perhaps, but it seems unlikely. It’s unavoidable that run would come to an end resulting in a rebuilding phase and some bad teams. It’s bound to happen to everyone sooner or later, it seems only the Yankees and Dodgers ilk can avoid the crash and rebuild. Take your chances and go for it when the window is open because you’ll be back to the rebuild sooner (probably much sooner) than later no matter how hard you try to avoid it.
