So after four seasons of their "dominant" run, they're going to have two playoff appearances and zero series wins to show for it. And now the free agency exodus begins.

Talk about a make or break offseason for Mike Rizzo. Replace two starters, most of the bullpen, and your starting SS/CF. And probably do it with mostly in-house options, because you have $85M committed to seven players and it's going to get worse in 2017, when Harper becomes arb-eligible.

They got Trea Turner from the Padres last off-season. Turner was the Pad's #2 prospect and was a the 13th overall pick in the 2014 draft. They are planning on having him take over for Desmond next year. Of course, he is batting .091 since being called up 3 weeks ago.
