I vehemently disagree with this. This isn’t the NBA. Scorched earth rebuilds are very high risk, low reward propositions that take 5 years or more to recover from. I don’t want to watch the Pirates for the next decade.
this team is again, tied for first in the central. Is on pace for 90 wins. They’re 4th in the AL in runs scored, 7th in runs allowed.
a couple good bullpen pieces added, along with some health in the rotation can take this team a long ways in securing a post season berth.
it has been a rough patch, they are not in free fall.
