The Jepsen trade was frustrating because it was too small of a move - I would have been happier if Ryan had truly stood pat and done nothing at all. Jepsen makes the bullpen better because anything at all would have improved that bullpen. The issue is that one arm was not nearly enough, and the move came too late in the season to be followed up with more moves to actually raise the sinking ship. I don't think Hu and Tapia were going to be pitching Games 1 and 2 of the 2017 World Series or anything like that, but either make moves (plural) to address the problems (plural) or don't bother. I don't see the point of getting Jepsen if that's the only move being made. Just Kimbrel, or just Chapman, sure, that would be a major upgrade. Just Jepsen was not worth it.
