Granted, it would be more than just adding those guys. It’s likely that there’s some level of improvement among Robles/Garcia/kieboom. Plus maturation from our young pitchers gray/Adon, the strong likelihood that at least one of cavalli or Henry will debut next year in some capacity, and we can see if Rogers or Espino prove something.
This doesn’t even factor in bullpen natural improvement, the 90% chance that strasburg and Corbin contribute more this year (it wouldn’t take much), or the fact that we get full seasons of lane and Keibert who have shown already had success at the major league level and have shown no reason to doubt them.
We’re closer than people think. Next year is possible if rizzo is smart this offseason. One biggish bat and a couple Harrison/Flores/Rosario/Villar type guys
You are counting on the Nats rolling 7s on every player, while the opposition rolls 12s. Right now this team is going to lose over 100 games. No amount of fiddling around the edges changes that. Any major improvement will have to be spurred by players already in the system. And that doesn’t look good for 2022
