I don't really agree with him. What pieces from the MLB roster look like contributors in 2019 and beyond?
- Pillar (will be 30 and probably somewhere between 4th OF and 2-win starter)
- Travis (if he's not dead)
- Stroman
- Sanchez
- Osuna
I just don't see a foundation here. Two average (maybe) position players, a couple of non-ace starters we hope stay healthy, and a closer. I know Alford, Vlad, and Bichette are nice prospects, but I think I'd prefer to see them supplemented with a bunch of other elite young talent than spend the 2-3 years putting lipstick on this pig.
I'd be looking to move pretty much everyone except maybe Stroman. But possibly also Stroman.
