If Ishbia gave us one early present, who would excite you to add to this not ready team

I know we were talking about a wishful scenario, but it's more like their big FA signing is $1.6M than $160M. Maybe 3 times that amount at about $5M!

If they sign a higher profile OF who will expect to start, they're going to block Baldwin, maybe even possible innings for Ramos as a backup. If they sign Josh Naylor (they won't, but pretend), he pushes Sosa to 2B, and Meidroth to the bench. 

I can only see them signing another Martin Perez, and MAYBE a closer. They probably have another couple of Penn Murfees and Tyler Gilberts in them.

I think they may sign a cheap RHH OF that can slide to the bench when Braden comes up. I'm not entirely certain they bring back Tauchman (either non-tender or tender then trade).

I am putting that money into everything BUT the on the field team. 

International scouts, MiLB scouts, top coaching and development people, facilities, technology, etc.  Quit acting like we should be impressed by getting the stuff other teams got a decade ago.  Do whatever we can to get ahead of the curve.  Hell looking into AI analytics programming before it takes over baseball and we chase that a decade later.  Get ahead of teams instead of even.

Hey Chris Getz finally listened to me!
