Accepts. Did pay high to crack the top 5 where we have a target without involving our 1st Round pick. Bogart and Loria are great but this is likely the beginning of a descent into a rebuild. We are likely not done dealing. The window is fast closing on Bogart for us, and Loria while good and cheap lost considerable time to injury in 2044. Hayes is not Loria with a stick, but he is a defensive upgrade and doesn't get hurt. Kramer and Messer are pieces we're willing to take flyers on.
