I think that prediction is too optimistic, and its only possible without Bryant being traded. Deal him away and its worse. So far we're down a starter, putting more of a workload on the starting rotation; the bullpen has fewer arms, and they stunk last year; we lost the brightest offensive spark we had last year in Castellanos; lost a second baseman that is very dynamic defensively when paired with Javy; and we have a rookie manager, who, while I'm sure will be a good fit, will also have growing pains and learning curves.

I predict 75 wins, and a fall of 2020 firesale to restock the farm system.

I hope I'm wrong, but this team is in non way stronger than last season, and in several ways weaker. To hope for better results is to set up for disappointment.

I see it Stl & Reds battling it out to the last week of the season. I think the Cubs will finish third & Brew Crew 4th in a reverse won/loss record with the Pirates once again cellar bound.
