Positives:
-Our starting MI combined for 10 bWAR and are locked up for the next 3(?) years
-Seiya finally turned the corner and turned into a major offensive contributor and did it for a long enough period that there is some confidence that he's closer to that Seiya (though not quite at that level obviously) than the Seiya we saw the first 1.5 seasons
-Steele, Assad, Wicks all crushed it this year. Maybe there isn't an ace in the group but they should all be valuable contributors to next year's team
-They Cubs finally managed to extend a position player from the previous core and he wasn't half that bad.
-Alzolay finally reached potential and turned into a really good closer. Maybe not top tier, but if his walk rate this year is legit he'll be a very reasonably priced closer again next year.
-While we still don't know what we have in them guys like Morel, Madrigal and Mastrobuoni proved that they can be counted on for some degree of production
-Amaya after injury riddled years was a nice surprise even if his hitting fell off the second half of the season. He has a shot to be catcher of the future after hopefully 1 more Yan season.
Only gonna focus on positives right now maybe I'll come back and do negatives later
