The question is, do you see that happening again? Can he repeat the same formula that worked before to obtain another World Series? My opinion is that he can't, and that going forward it's best to be similar to the As or Rays and to be in the hunt each and every year. But that's just me.
You don't have to trade the World Series for anything, because it happened. What they do going forward should in no way be linked to what happened in the past. Whoever is the best for the job from 2021-2030 and beyond should be the GM, not who did something a decade ago. If that's Moore and Co then fine, continue to employ them. I think there are better options out there, but I'm certainly not going to lose any sleep over it. Moore clearly has done something right with some of the moves he's made lately, so hopefully there's a chance they can contend soon.

I think the million dollar question is how this new hitting development philosophy in the minors translates to the majors. Seeing what Nicky Lopez has done is really exciting, but there's still a long way to go.
It's going to be tough now anyway because teams like the Yankees and Dodgers not only spend money but they hoard most of their prospects. Instead of trading guys like Walker Buehler and Gavin Lux they're now playing alongside Scherzer and Mookie Betts.
