That's what it feels like.

Well, I think the GM recognizes that that was not a winning core of players, that there was something going on in that locker room.

There was something going on with Nimmo and McNeil and Lindor and Soto.

Again, it reminds me of the Rangers.

Yeah, like something's going on.

Whether it's fragility or people genuinely dislike each other, whether it be because of politics or religion or whatever else, David Stearns recognized that he had an issue in that locker room.

And he is trying to take care of that issue the best way he can.

And the best way he can is by letting Pete Alonzo walk, trading Nimmo and McNeil, eating part of the contract, and then now trying to bring in players that are going to be professional that may actually be able to get along with the players that are here on long-term contracts.

Yeah.

I mean, what is going on with this rotation?

Is he really just leaning on the younger guys?

Eventually, these younger guys are going to have to be leaned on.

Well, yeah, but I talked about having a guy like Frambois Valdez, a veteran that you can count on at the top of the rotation that's going to eat innings and you can trust, putting that guy to anchor this group.

And they've done nothing to try to find that.

And last year, their biggest problem was what?

Starting pitching.

Yeah, and they've done nothing to address it.

Well, I think that they think that they have a young group of pitchers that are going to be a big part of this thing moving forward.

And they'll end up signing somebody or a couple guys, probably retreads, trying to get guys that can come in and give you some innings.

I mean, because we know that there's going to be eight or nine starters during the year.
