TBF even if we had spent hundreds of millions in free agency, the injuries to Sanchez, Stroman, Travis and Donaldson, and Osuna’s domestic violence case would still have ruined our last two seasons.
That would mean we would still have missed the playoffs 2 years straight, but would have much lower payroll flexibility. But now if Vlad, Bo and some other prospects have success over the next year or two, we have tonnes of payroll room to add complementary pieces in free agency.
