That's my take as well. If they weren't going to blow it up they should have gone all in. Instead they just stayed in the middle and basically rode the roster as it was without doing everything possible to have one last chance. Signing marginal talents like Kennedy or that stupid Padres trade obviously weren't nearly enough.
