It is really hard to hold any sort of optimism with this franchise as long as Arte around.
I guess maybe they can trade some guys around the deadline with Drury, Estevez, Cimber, and Moore due for free agency. Maybe deal Canning, Rengifo, and Anderson who are only signed (or entering their final arb season) for 2025. The other good news is that they really only have money tied up in Trout and Rendon, the latter of which is only two more seasons. Also, play Adell every damn day moving forward.
