My god Vargas is beyond awful. Those weren’t major league swings. He’s flying forward so much, there is nothing on his swing. He seems totally defeated.
They have no one better. Their inability to develop relief prospects is scary bad. It’s a main reason they’ve had to pay so much for relievers in the past.
But nothing will come from this losing. Getz will keep his job, they will hire someone like Skip, and then they will trade Crochet and Robert for mediocre packages and 2025 will be the same as 2024.
These bad trades is also why the discussion about Getz making infrastructure changes doesn’t mean all that much. If he can’t evaluate major league talent, it doesn’t matter about anything else.
