I have no problem whatsoever with taking a step back. Unless you're trying to talk yourself into it, the Crew has no "realistic" shot at a WS with the current team. Woody's loss it just too much to overcome and they didn't do anything when they did have him. Sign Woody to a friendly 2 yr, prove it deal, trade Burnes and Adames and prepare for 2025. Insist on major league ready talent in return.
Tell Turang and Weimer to get to AZ to work on their respective hitting issues or they'll be in AAA again next year. I understand that Weimer was brought up out of necessity but how did he advance that far with THAT swing? I'm rooting for Turang if for no other reason than his defense but you simply can't hide a sub .600ops, nor should you have to at this level. If they can get Weimer straightened out, you trade one of the OFers at the deadline next year.
