Because I don't think they are good enough next year, unless they can get help from AA. If they can get help from AA, then getting a SP NEXT YEAR for Santana isn't that important anyway, imo. And, Santana won't be good forever, probably. I'd guess he has maybe 1 good year left. After that? HUGE step back for this team, unless the guys they have and trade for are good in 19 and beyond.
