With the one free transfer rule likely or has already been instituted....NOW - should be the easiest time to rebuild ever.
Be aggressive on the transfer portal.....3-4 good bats, and a legit starter, as well as 2-3 bullpen pieces is not that far of a reach with the rule changes. Now - identifying quality of players - that's a whole different discussion - and one where we have struggled in adding quality pieces. Childress/Seely for the most part - get whomever they want. That hasn't been an issue, it's more identifying better players and development once they're here.
Childress has overly panicked with the current roster/bullpen this year and stunted it's growth. So much so it's hard to know what quality underclassmen are currently in the fold or if the cupboard is mostly bare. He keeps rolling the same formula out with basically the same lack of results. This last weekend series was too little too late.
