“They are trading Nolan and Sonny! Then Donovan and Noot! Will it be like this forever?”

No, they will trade Nolan and Sonny. Then, along with money from Miko’s contract up, Bloom will add 2-3 starters on short term contracts. If the cards are bad next year, he might trade them.

Donovan will be traded for prospects. Noot too, though they won’t get much.


Eventually, numerous prospects will experience success on the mlb team. Around that time, the team will start spending on FAs.


Winn and Donovan are good, right? We should have a minor league pipeline with more of those guys and less Gorman and Walkers…

You make my point though. You say Donovan is good (he was great in the first half), but they will trade (dump) him instead of extending him. You just can’t build a homegrown team if you are constantly trading the success stories before year 5 and extending no one.

Even quality players have yo years and down years but you can never build a complete team of players with less than five years of service time.
