After exhaling, the end result after the purge is that the big league team played two competitive games against a team that always finds a way to beat them-- so no change-- and we basically have an entire draft worth of new prospects and projects to sort through. It's not quite Christmas in summer. But bright stars like Buxton, an impending sale, and Joe Ryan at the top level and many exciting players just below ought to give hope. I'm hopeful. Not Peter hopeful, but hopeful.
Win.
