GDT 8/13/19: Going Mike Vick on the Mutts

Bigger ? is they have to pay most of their rotation SOON.

Stroman FA in 1.5 years, Thor in 2.5 years, Matz in 2.5 years, Wheeler FA to be. But they do have some good positional players in JD Davis, Conforto, Alonso, McNeil, Rosario, among others.

Which is another reason they have to go all in now.

I actually read the opposite in an article on FanGraphs. Their core really isn't that young. In fact, their window is likely closing in the next 2 years. Essentially, they only have Wheeler this year, Syndegaard for 2 more, Stroman for 1 more, DeGrom is already over 30, McNeil is actually already 27, will be 28 next year. Alonso will be 25 next year. Rosario isn't looking like he will be a star.

Their farm system is currently in the lower half of the league as well. So realistically speaking, this year and the next couple could be it.

Hence why a rebuild doesn't make sense for them.

McNeil and Alonso are a little old, but not in terms of service time.

I know. The key sentence there was about them not being young enough to rebuild around for a few years. They have to go all in now.

They're certainly in an interesting spot. Farm is too bad to really blow it up, but idk how all in they should go this winter.

They do have some good pieces but alot of them will be FA's or soon to be really soon.

Go nuts all-in in 2019 and 2020, then trade those position players before 2021 for a kickstart on a rebuild?

That's probably what I would be thinking given their current roster construction. Go nuts in 2020, but stay open to the possibility of rebuilding in the 2020/21 offseason.
