Get ready for a lot of these threads as it applies to nearly half the 25 man roster 🙂

Personally, i dont think 15, 16, or 25 should be worn, but thats me. 

All of a sudden the division is as much within reach as the wildcard after TX getting swept by the Pad and going 3-7 in the last 10.  The division has come back to us.

IMO we still need a few things, but, and this might be the first time im saying this another frontline SP would be the smart move.  I wanted an impact bat, was hoping for somethin g like Goldschmidt but Cron is what we got. 
Were going to need to limit other teams till we get everyone back to score more runs, we dont really have room for another bat right now after recent deals. 

Yes, we need a backup C that can actually hit a little, and a replacement 4th OF wouldn't suck although Phillips is still in the org for that 4th and Cabbage can also play the OF, and 100% another leverage reliever. 

IF you could get Verlander for example, unlikely i know but if... youd have a front 3 as good as anyone in the game.   Maybe also get a reliever like Ottavino.

Others can likely offer more, no doubt, but that would be the coup Perry needs to make in my view.  

Well, one thing i dont think anyone, myself included, can say anymore is that Arte/Perry arent trying.
They are still covering their bases with acquiring expiring contracts over any long term commitments payroll wise so going over the tax on the short term but nothing long term, a total Arte move 🙂
But i cant fault what they are doing.
A day left to finish the job.

Its a fair point, all are pitching well, but all have also had issues at one time or another.
Snell is another interesting name.
I dont move Sandy for a rental, but im might take advantage of the recent success of the others to create that three headed monster.

Of course.  A heathy Rendon is still our best option. 
Do i expect him back, no, and he should not come back till he is 100%

No, he signed with the team that could give him a two way role he wanted, in the location he wanted, that paid him the most money.

Im going to leave this one alone this time, not worth the headache, but Its kinda funny how if we want to trade for a guy it will cost us the farm but if we trade a guy we wont get anything real in return. 
Youre never going to get full value, we all know that the time for that is long passed and we already blew that, but something is better than nothing. 
I think the Dodgers are waiting on that call and make a lot of sense, but im not going to fight this fight any further... whatever happens, happens. 

i partially agree.
Perry did what he could within Artes limits.  We still had holes we didnt fill that were available that we passed on to stay within budget. 
No one can plan for the misfortune weve had but somehow we say that every season it seems. 
Arte has spent, i give him full marks for that, but he started a path he was never willing to finish.  By giving 3 players over half the payroll putting us in a place where the only path to immediate success was spending he isnt willing to do.

I agree, largely because weve backed ourselves into this corner and we have no other play to make.
Im still highly skeptical that Arte will ever bust the tax, so till he does im going to retain my doubts even though thats exactly what he needs to do, must do in fact, for it to matter.
Im not wild about Scherzer per se, his demeaner and attitude i feel like he needs to be on a name, a glamour team, i feel like he doesn't respect  a club like ours.  But i also think there are better fits available as well. 

This.
If there was ever a year, if there is ever going to be a year, this has to be it.
You cant qualify it, you cant put a budget on it, you get get what it takes and you do it sooner rather than later.
If this isnt that time, then honestly, what would it take for that time to happen?

Please leave me out of this in the future.
