This 9 game road trip before the allstar break is huge. We need to go on a run here to hopefully get close to .500 by the break. If not, we have to seriously consider trading all of our guys on expiring contracts and retool like we did at the 2024 deadline. Guys like Varsho, Beiber, Springer and Gausman should all be on the trade block. At this point the AL East title is basically a pipe dream and even a WC is getting further and further out of reach. Even if we somehow squeak into a WC spot it will be on the road and were likely 2 and done. Last year we got extremely lucky with very few injuries and things seemed to fall our way. Yes we've had alot of injuries this year but it's not even like we've been getting unlucky. Our expected W-L record is actually worse then our actual record. At this point being 5 games under past the halfway mark seems like a daunting task to even secure a WC spot. We have less then a 30% chance now to even make it. Honestly if we don't win all 3 road series before the break, it's time to go into hard sell mode and let the rookies see what they have.
