Or maybe president of baseball operations John Mozeliak and his fellow decision-makers will wait and debate until the last moment before Tuesday’s 5 p.m. trade deadline to improve first-year manager Oliver Marmol’s shot at winning the division and more.
Or maybe this deadline will come to be defined by shrewd moves that don’t get celebrated much at first, but look brilliant later. Something similar to last season’s recruitment of seemingly washed up starters who helped pull a sinking team into a there-and-gone postseason appearance.
