I think people are being a bit pessimistic about the team’s 2019 chances. Minnesota won the WC last year, and Oakland is going to win this year. There’s no reason why the team can’t be on that level.
I actually think the team should make a free agent splash this offseason. The only salary they have committed is Morales and Martin through 2019 and Tulowitzki through 2020. Go out and get two of Keuchel/Happ/Corbin, and maybe an AJ Pollock.
And FFS don’t bring back Estrada or keep Sanchez in the rotation.
