What are the paths you see to the team improving next year? Seems like trades are likely not going to make any big changes, and if I'm reading the tea leaves right, it sounds like there's not much room to grow the payroll by adding a really good free agent.

Hope I'm wrong but it looks like next year's team will mostly be hoping for a Berrios rebound and maybe some promotions, with some minor trades/FA acquisitions to fill in the corners. Doesn't seem on the surface like that will get it done.

This was really good - thanks. It all seems pretty accurate to me, but it's a bit grim. We really don't have that many trade chips to be honest - at least one's that will bring back significant quality that will address our main needs. Bichette, Moreno and other prospects maybe?

So it will be a fascinating off-season if we there's limited trade options/opportunities and limited finances to bring in a biggish named free agent.

Minor tweaks, but mostly status quo for 2023?
