What Bloom shouldn't - and almost certainly won't - be doing is obtaining more veteran players who are 30, 31, 32, etc. by trade or FA signing who are on expensive, long term contracts. Signing/trading for guys around 30 who can be had on relatively cheap 1-2 year contracts, fine. But no expensive, long term commitments should be taken on right now.

The only players in that age group he brings in could be RP's on one or two year deals.
He may have to add a one year starting pitcher in that age group for 2026, perhaps one coming off an injury?
Wacha could be terrific, provided we don't have to give up to much to get him. Reverse salary dump?
