As a team that won 86-87 games the last two years, I feel as if they are at a point where even 2-3 wins of improvement can substantially increase their probability of success.  Thus it seems like a good time to be adding a good established player or two.  I'm not really expecting that to happen anymore though.   

I still think a guy like P Chris Bassitt would help the pitching depth.  I don’t think there’s much more that will be done with the hitting for now, and I think I’m fine with that.  But I think the pitching could use a bit more depth.
