And I think that'd be an overall good path, and maybe you splurge on Sasaki next offseason the way that's going. (I assume everyone will be in on him, but we could maybe then offer him the highest extension?)
Even if Montgomery / Lugo have below-median outcomes, the rotation is still full of #3s with a couple of upside of #2s, that's a monumental improvement over the past couple of seasons. You can wait to see if you have a true core of prospects that can contend before pushing the chips in for a #1.
The fanbase at large would probably mock it, but I'd be fine waiting 1-2 more years on this window opening.
