They retained no one because they failed so bad at player development that it didn't make sense to keep them. Maybe if we signed Max to these deals to pitch in front of our turd roster things would be different. Soto wouldn't have been traded if Mike Rizzo competently ran a player development program.
Everyone seems to be forgetting that in July of 2021, when we traded Max & Trea and everyone else, and still had Soto, we were 47-55.
But yeah, that team also featured Kieboom, Fedde, and Robles, none of whom came anywhere close to developing in what they were expected to become. And nobody expected Corbin to repeatedly post 6.000 ERAs
