In my opinion, when you have such a crazy elite offense and your pitching is lacking circumstances should be made by ownership to take advantage of this opportunity and really go for it.
Doesn't mean spending $200 million or anything like that , but a decent bump would have been great with regards to accomplishing better moves.
With regards to Bautista and Encarnacion, it's hard to imagine them being here past next year, (especially more so if we struggle) when you look at our payroll in 2017.
