How many starters do you want them to have? It's not failing to prepare. You don't think AA is aware? You don't think they tried? deGrom said no, Skubal was going to LAD despite our efforts. You lost 2 SP at the end of the year. Other traded SPs didn't do well. You wanted Ray, Mize, Gausman? They haven't been good. It's a war of attrition in baseball these days and there are only so many soldiers to be had for your side. 7/9 division titles in a tough division with 3 top 10 payrolls is hard to pull off. The Phillies had an $84M rotation this year, look where that got them. People just thinking you can add like you just do it whenever you want and if you don't then you didn't try. It's nonsense. $66M for Snell and Glasnow this year, they made 22 starts combined.
