I doubt he looks to replace Gray, Sandoval and Early with a major SP'er add, since Crochet, Houck, Crawford and Oviedo should be in the mix, but he will likely look to add more depth.
Just pulling back your initial comment to clarify my position not to accuse you of moving goalposts or anything like that.
The above comment was made in the context of allocating resources towards bullpen and potentially LF. And I interpreted it as a we wont need a pricey SP to replace Gray, Sandoval, Early beause of Crochet, Houck, Crawford, Oviedo coming back to compliment Ranger, Tolle, Bennet, Bello and others.
And if Gray finishes this year healthy, I think its worth bringing him back, and I think he'll be pricey. Like maybe like 25m/yr for 2 yrs with incentives that could push it up to 31.5m/yr. Im hopeful that gets it done.
If its like 30m base x 4 yrs , I get a little balky.
