They just got to find a way to cut down strikeouts. They cut down strikeouts, they’re going to be good. Look, this team had a historic offense when they signed everybody and everybody thought this was going to be the case every year. It’s impossible to hit 307 home runs every year. To keep Acuna healthy is huge. So if they can cut down the strikeouts, they won’t be as vulnerable of a team, even though they don’t have the complementary players that they resigned.
