I totally agree with the podcast hosts in this being a lost season which should be clear for all to see. Hone in on the starting pitching and you have what is akin to a black hole with even Teheran and Folty being anything close to consistent. Garcia looks to be the ace by default while the others are either lost at sea (Dickey/Colon) or #4, #5 on their good days.
So, again I agree that there’s no need to empty the farm of quality prospects for a so-called quick fix. Bite down hard on the bullet because this season will be painful with the prospect of bluer skies next year and beyond.
