I am not impressed with what has transpired thus far this spring.  While hoping for more, I’m down to between 77-82 wins.  They are missing a singular presence in the lineup and a Gausman or Rodon on the mound.

You hit the mark on the wins. Rodon didn't do much blowing away of guys this year. In exchange for his 6 year, $157 million contract, he finished 3-8 this year with a 6.85 ERA. And he's 31 next year. At least Arson Judge got in almost 2/3rds of the Yankee games (he played in 106).

Gausman finished 12-10 in 2022 and 12-9 this year. Was it worth 5 years, $112 million? He'll be 33 this year.
