Sustainability over trying to win a WS for a franchise that hasn't been to a WS in almost half a century.

"We failed to attract any quality free agents due to tight budget constraints from our ownership. We felt that it was best as an organization to resort to plan B which is to develop prospects that have failed in the past because we made mistakes in their development process in order to maximize their growth as a major league ballplayer."
It's a truly weird experience I'm having. In years where we absolutely have 0 chance I find in excitement in the prospect that the unproven may just surprise us. I don't think I ever had more fun watching a team than the first 20 games of 2019.
Now it's like my expectations were truly raised and this off season and I just feel so strongly that because they again went soft (AGAIN...) it's going to lead to some frustrating mediocrity. I swear to God Jarred Kelenic better fucking hit or I'm going to be unrelenting.
