Look at the lineup today lol. Ernie who has been terrible against RHP is hitting 2nd in the lineup.
Lopefido has played well above his talent but he isn't a leadoff hitter. The catcher isn't an MLB caliber player.. I mean the team only has a +22 RD which is more above average than good.
You get Kirk, Varsho, Springer back and maybe Giminez along with a few trades and the team starts to look like it can contend. With a sizeable lead in the division they absolutely need to make a few trades to do what they can to win division.
