[QUOTE="wpr, post: 1477844, member: 4159"] Honest answer, When you have Rizzo, Bryant and Baez as the core along with a very solid second tier of players the window is not closed. Pitching is fickle. The 20 game winner one year is ineffective the next 2 years. The Fireman closer suddenly can't blow out a match but there's always a bunch of young arms waiting in the wings somewhere. KB isn't eligible for free agency until 2022. He'll get a contract extension this off season. Rizzo is a FA in 22 as well. He'll be 32. I don't think he will look for a 10 year $150+ deal but you never know. If he accepts a 6 year deal he will stay too. Same for Baez. FA in 22. I anticipate he too will get a new deal. If ownership/management so desire the window will be open for a long time. [/QUOTE]
