Every fan says this during a total rebuild. They have tons of pitching in the pipeline - Boyd, Turnbull, Mize, Manning, Skubal, Faedo, Burrows as well as guys like Castro, Funkhouser, etc. who will transition to the bullpen soon. They have an excellent defensive catcher with pop in Rogers, a solid 3rd baseman on the way in Paredes. A great looking 1st round pick in Greene plus a no. 1 or 2 pick next year. You can buy a couple of bats if needed and you're an over .500 team. Whether they will turn into a true contender nobody can predict, which true of Chicago, KC, Baltimore, Toronto and the other rebuilding teams.
