## Resource

This team’s season was a rollercoaster—strong early, then shaky—but the real story is next year. Pitching remains the glaring weakness, but with rising arms like Lopez, Ginn, and Jump, they only need to fix one spot in the rotation. Offense? Explosive. Gelof, Butler, Bolte, and McNeil delivered big-time—even without key injured stars. And there’s trade potential at shortstop and in the outfield that could reshape the roster. Smart moves this offseason, plus better health, could turn this into a playoff contender by next spring. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
