[QUOTE="Dee_4_Three_83, post: 1829657, member: 748890"] I understand why there may be some hesitancy on this Contreras deal, but I trust that this was the best option for the organization. The reality is that no one could replace what Yadi was in our hearts and what Yadi meant to a pitching staff and defensively. But, we all saw that he was a shell of his former self offensively in '22. In terms of future moves, even though we are probably close to done, I could see a trade to upgrade pitching. I think the rotation is close to set, but I could see them adding a relief pitcher or two. I think they saw what the Astros did with their amazing bullpen and would like to have a deep pen to make it through the October gauntlet. A healthy Helsley, Hicks, and Gallegos is great. But, I think we need one more great bridge guy to get us to the end. [/QUOTE]
