If I'm a GM and I've got a first place team and an owner telling me I've got cash available I'm going to find a way to improve the club.
Even if it sets us back for 2013.
We just got our asses handed to us by our likely first round opponent. There's a long way to go but don't tell me that all is well.
Despite all the screaming the Nats didn't "improve" themselves at the deadline, something they did do a couple of weeks later, btw, they've maintained the best record in baseball through it all. If you've got a team that's been able to maintain that, why the heck would you want to do something to set us back for 2013? That doesn't make a lick of sense.
