I'm not really down. But let's face it, if they trade Betts and Price, they're not all in for this year. It will confirm that 2020 is all about the tax re-set.
I think the issue is that the starting pitching outlook seems much worse. The only pitcher who took a step in the right direction was E-Rod.
Pessimism abounds about the health of Sale, Price and Eovaldi. (Price may be gone of course.)
Johnson and Velazquez turned into rotten pumpkins etc.
Yeah, if you take the cold, rational longview, if Mookie wants 400 million, we're better off if he gets it elsewhere - hopefully in the National League though.
