Look, we all know SS is a major issue, and it's not what we foresaw before the season. I'm sure the front office sees it just as we do. The problem is that this deadline offered no meaningful upgrades at that position or at 2B either, if moving Turang over was even an option mid-season.
While I wish we were able to do more, we can take solace in knowing that none of the other NL teams besides the Padres made earth shattering moves that will drastically affect our chances.
And I do believe this sets us up with the best farm system in the league that will be fully capable of pulling off a major move in the off-season at SS or another position of need, when the actual star level players become available.
But I'm not judging anyone who is incredibly disappointed at today's results.
