It depends what you are giving up. Punting on positions of need in a season where you have a legit shot of going far in could be shortsighted. We aren’t in the spot of previous years where we were making moves to get to the playoffs. This is potentially setting you up for playoff success. I think it’s okay to shop a couple pieces here
Shortsighted? The only World Series that is guaranteed is the current one. I’m not saying to sell the farm here but you have a chance to make damage in the playoffs with this team by adding a competent RF and Another Top tier pitcher.
No, this is one I will defend Renteria on. Sometimes you have to protect young players from themselves. This is his second start back from TJS. No need to risk potential injury by throwing him out there in the 6th.
