[QUOTE="IanKEvans2, post: 1416185, member: 12945"] One thing I loved seeing last night, even through the tensions of an extra innings/win-or-go-home elimination game was the excitement and fun the guys were having. Rizzo was like a kid in the dugout with a smile ear-to-ear. This team has fun, and that's what makes them so enjoyable to watch. A few things I am foreseeing for the offseason: [LIST=1] [*]Despite the early exit, the offseason is quite welcomed. A lot of players (especially Bryant) just need to get healthy. [*]Russell being cut is one of the first transactions. [*]A big run for Harper or Machado is brought in. This has been an offseason the front office has been eagerly anticipating for a long time. [*]As bdutts stated, the relief needs some power arms. As a lefty myself, I appreciate finesse, but they need some fire. [*]Going off of champaignchris' points, I think Happ is dealt over Almora and several rotation options will be explored. [*]Many fans of opposing franchises will direct the "Yankees treatment" toward the Cubs for buying some players. [/LIST] Lastly the postseason unfolds, I am pulling for Cleveland, Oakland, and Colorado. [/QUOTE]
