FO literally did nothing during the season to make the team better. Happ and Lester are just warm bodies who are pumpkins and a historic win streak literally is putting them in a play-in game.

This team could have been division contenders if the FO literally did anything in June to stabilize the rotation or improve the bullpen.

I hate to say this, but to be fair, they were underperforming, looked lackadaisical all the time and uninterested.

Who would we have given up? Gorman? Liberatore? Unless your trading them, your not getting a difference maker. So trading shit for shit and hoping to get some positive innings out of the old geezers was the best you can do.

They weren't underperforming, though. According to their Pythagorean prior to this run, they were overperforming.

Injuries decimated the rotation along with the BP being shit to begin with.

They wouldn't have had to trade for Happ or Lester in the first place if they signed a starter in the offseason.

The BP, along with Happ and Lester, is smoke and mirrors.

Enjoyable run, but the fact that they're in a play-in game, as opposed to having a chance at clinching the Central, is due to the FO's inaction.

no way am I defending a damn thing Mo does. Or the billionaire Dewitt’s need to make $30-$60 million profit every year.
