Everyone pissing and moaning about AA not making any moves. The only moves we absolutely SHOULD be making is selling our rentals. But Freeman and Morton pretty much control where they want to go, and perhaps they've been asked and they simply don't want to go anywhere. At that point, the best move seems to be play it safe and hope the guys we have coming back can help us climb back into contention.
There legitimately is no sense in "going for it" with a below .500 ball club, regardless how bad the division is. Even in the unlikely chance we actually make the playoffs, we're super likely to be trounced in the 1st round.
If we're adding pieces that are controlled longer than 3 months, that does have some merit. I still question that logic though, since you're still giving up value in a year that is likely lost.
