It's been their MO since this front office got here to use the extra rest at the beginning of the year. You're talking about maybe one or two more starts the entire year.... Maybe
I guess I'm just not going to get upset they didn't do something everyone knew they wouldn't do. I'd rather have a lot of players they didn't acquire, but I only second guess the realistic stuff. Ymmv, of course.
They were never re-signing Sonny for three years at that price.
I thought Santana and Margot were mistakes, and nothing has changed my mind. Losing an elite player like Lewis is tough, especially with Lee hurt.
