I don't see how anybody actually had expectations of this team not being hot garbage this year. When it's hard to keep track of who is on the pitching staff and you're filling out the lineup with jabronis like Justin Bour, you've got problems. They either should have gone all in and signed/traded for some guys, or traded the few valuable pieces they have (Simmons/Ohtani/Upton) and do a total rebuild around Trout. Arte's approach of spending, but not going all in and signing cheap guys to fill out the roster, and kind of trying to rebuild the farm, but not completely, is not working at all.
