Yeah, I gotta give credit where it's due. The bullpen they put together is pretty solid

One more arm.

Either get another mid rotation starter and move Martinez to the pen or just get another reliever but it doesn't have to be a big hammer (that would be nice but too expensive).

If we get into a short series you can move Martinez and Burns to the pen anyway.

Lot's of options there. I'd be trying to find one arm and one more bat (at least). That bat needs to ideally be an OF but could be a 3b or DH, hit RH with power and mash lefties. Good defense is preferred.

This team is in a better spot than 2023 was. That team was a weak pitching team with a bunch of rookies playing over their heads. Now you have a strong pitching team with an offense that has underproduced if anything.

You don't sell the farm for one guy but they deserve some help. WC is there to be won and this type of team can be a problem for bigger spending clubs in a short series.

Agree with pretty much everything. I think a hitter is the biggest priority. Obviously it's not easy to get a middle of the order guy but I'd be fine if they traded any of their minor league guys for one assuming he's not a 2 month rental. Assuming Greene comes back it kindof puts guys in their place in the rotation with him as the 1

I saw the video previously of those two homers. Both looked to be big time hanging breaking balls in the middle of the plate.

Just like Hector Rodriguez, he's been up to AAA for a week. Let him get comfortable.

The key is seeing how he reacts to failure because failure will happen. He proves he can adjust and come out of a slump, then he's maybe ready.
