They can do it, and they probably should.
They're a team built to win now, and it may not be perfect, but this is how you do it as best you can at this stage.
I love it.
Let's move on to the next one.
Zach Littell, who, man, another one I can't believe is still a free agent.
Last year, two teams made 32 starts, pitched to a 3-8-1 ERA in 186 and two-thirds innings.

Just a guy who's been consistent.

I'm going to give it to the Minnesota twins here.
Just lost Pablo Lopez, a team that, I mean, they tore it down at the deadline last year, but they didn't operate this offseason as a team that's fully, fully tearing it down.
Like, they didn't seem to be interested in dealing Pablo Lopez or Joe Ryan.
