Doesn't make sense to me either. They won't get Soto, which probably allows them to fill more holes as a result, but while I admire Rogers' willingness to spend, I think most people see this attempt to fix poor drafting and development with gobs of money as an act of desperation and I tend to agree.
Fixing a fundamentally flawed team with little internal talent through free agency makes for an intriguing offseason but it's not a prudent approach.
