the team would have been able to go out and get a legit slugger for the MOTO instead of running the magic carousel which kept regurgitating shattered hopes and broken dreams.
At some point (I think the M's are at this point) you need to push into the pot and declare the move. The M's seriously needed Kemp/Upton, and now they don't have them. Melky would have probably done the job as well, but now it really is down to a Desmond rental, or a really unexpected move like a Tulo blockbuster (they're after at least two high-level pitching prospects, and strangely enough, I'd pretty gladly meet their demands. Tulo could transform this team, even if he *only* OPS'd in the low .800's as a Mariner.
