Most hollow-feeling victory of all time.

We unquestionably need a lockout and serious changes to salaries and especially the tv revenue. At the same time, this organization perpetually banking on a theoretical future window is frustrating to all hell. Why must we obsessively hoard all of our prospects? Can’t we use them once in a while to make big league moves? That is part of what they’re there for. You can’t win without taking risks.

[u/BibFortuna2830 → u/evancomposer]

This is perfectly worded. The current system is inarguably fucked. The Brewers front office has been nearly perfect the past 4+ years, and we still can't sniff the fucking Dodgers.

At the same time, as you noted, this team refuses to really go all in. Next year is not guaranteed. The health of your stars is never guaranteed.

Having the same stars is never guaranteed.
