So, we are going to head into 2018 with Braun, Broxton, Santana, Brinson, Phillips, Cordell, Thames, and Aguilar? No they're moves that will have to be made. But buying a year and a half rental to "contend" this year and next goes against DS's core mission statement. I'm all for acquiring more young, controllable talent for those pieces just not the rentals. The Cubs are a borderline dynasty and it would be wise to follow that model, and not blow our load for this year and next. I don't mind winning, and I'm not in Hinkie's tank club, but the Cubs are likely gonna hold this division for the foreseeable future, so asset management is key.
