They are +25,000 to win the NL East and +3000 to make the playoffs and their over/under is 59.5 wins. I'd say the expectation is failure this year.
Sure. I'm not saying this year they are likely to be much better than that. But the original post of yours to which I responded was:
This is going to be a real test of the Lerner's legacy. If they can sell quickly for what they can get, then I think they left us with an ok situation. If we drag on a couple more years like this, it's going to effect player development and engagement, and they'll be remembered for leaving the city a team they ran into the ground.
Your post talked about multiple years and the Lerner legacy, to which I replied that their actions since 2021 trade deadline do not indicate a lack of plan to get this team interesting and better.
You replied
I fail to see how driving away all but the most die hard fans is a successful path
, which is a reply about their overall approach, not just 2023. That's an assumption that their actions will not result in ultimate success, and I replied it's just as likely that they will have some surprisingly good outcomes as every move plays out with top prospects and players missing reasonable expectations for development.
