I believe this to be true.

You are probably correct.
We won't know if the rebuild is finished until they start winning again.
Looks like with a couple more modifications, this year's rebuild is nearly finished.
We will have to see what happens with 2026 as to whether the rebuild is ongoing.
Beautiful, just lovely.

You think this may be a one season only rebuild?
They will continue to rebuild until they don't stink.
Then they'll claim victory.

There is no "this season's rebuild" - there is THE rebuild. It took years to f^<k, gonna take at least a couple years to unf^>k.

I agree with you.
But if they happen to somehow win 90+ games next year (farfetched).
Then this year would have completed the rebuild, right?
Isn't it all dependent on wins?

There's really not much to talk about if you don't understand what the team is trying to do. What you've posted so far in this thread shows no indication you have any idea of what a rebuild is, why it's being done, or just how it gets done. Get back to us when you figure that out.

Sure, Arenado needs to be dealt with, but nothing of significance coming back there.
Don't necessarily need to trade Donovan, as he could be part of rebuild.
So, if this is nearly all that will be done, it was a short and sweet rebuild.
At this juncture, does anyone call this a "Major Change"?
Even if they trade Donovan, it really isn't all that major.

This rebuild was never major, compared to other teams’ rebuilds.

Only some CTers acted like it was major and the end of the world…

Well, some think this is a multi year rebuild, so I guess over the course of a few years
it could turn out to be major.

I look for us to sell and not buy at the deadline, no matter what the record is. Next offseason, I see more incremental tweaks, but not nearly to the extent of this offseason. I fully expect them earn a playoff spot in 2027 and improve from there.
