Right, I mean, have we already forgotten last year's deadline, and Bloom's stunning stealth acquisitions of Hosmer, Pham and McGuire, that helped propel us to a 25-32 record after the August 2 deadline?
At the 2021 deadline, Bloom's pitching acquisitions were Robles and Davis. As I recall we didn't find out he'd acquired them until about an hour after the deadline.
And I like Cora's attitude.
OTOH I'm sure glad right now the farm produced Bello, Casas, Crawford and Duran.
You can like both things, the big team and the farm, there's no law that says you have to choose.
