Well, then neither understand the complex nature of the business of baseball. This constant bashing is exhausting. X is an adult and he will be ok. Of course he's down. The team is worse than it was supposed to be and his friend just got traded.
I think it’s just the double speak. Trade away the leader, and replace with a bunch of nothings that don’t benefit the team (Hosmer actually will - but Dalbec also seems to be a second half player).
So you improve with Hosmer, but you downgrade catching a lot. It’s kind of just swimming in place.
I’d have preferred attempting to get better, or selling off more pieces (JD) so we could actually get pieces for the farm for later.
Just feels like we collect Hansel Robles types while our competitors constantly get better at the deadline. We are still in the playoff hunt, and I could see the team going on a sustained run and getting back into it. But it’sgoing to be harder when you trade away your team’s heart.
