We all know that ownership punted on this season and the team will suck.

We also know that no matter what ownership did this team is not going to contend in 2018. There are 2 teams in our division which are 2 of the best in the game.

I think JD is very cautious about the farm system these days. And I am not sure Holland or someone similar would be that much of a difference maker. If the Rangers were closer to contention, sure. But this year? With Houston expected to dominate and the Angels likely to be in the mix?

Closers can always be sold at the deadline

greg Holland signs with st. louis
He signs for $14 million. If we could have signed him for that we could have traded him mid-July and been out about $8 million and picked up some prospects to help our rebuilding process.

And, Hamels' trade value slips even further down than it was this past offseason.
