As for the roster, earlier decisions by the entrenched braintrust restrict what can be done during this offseason. The front office is not so much complacent as handcuffed.
Making significant changes on this roster would be difficult for a variety of reasons.
The next offseason the team spent pitcher Luke Weaver and catcher Carson Kelly to get first baseman Paul Goldschmidt. And the trades that sent away outfielders Tommy Pham, Randal Grichuk and Oscar Mercado yielded dismal returns.
Other teams covet outfielder Dylan Carlson and slugging corner infielder Nolan Gorman, but dealing either prospect would be stupid unless this team gained many years of cost-controlled, All-Star-caliber play in return.
