we just need to get back to what we were doing. Judge and Harper don't win you much. See Trout, he hasn't won anything his entire career. You need good management, a ton of pitching, team leaders, good catcher and quality fielding. We can check a lot of these boxes here. Farhan cost us big time by Cobb being out of action and Ray to start the season. We knew Snell would come along a lil slow with his late signing. So he walked into the year with 3/5s the rotation out of action more or less. That's how he fired himself essentially.
Ohtani hasn't won anything either technically, but you take him if you can. Same way with Judge and Harper
One player won't win you the World Series, but having a cornerstone player certainly helps (see Posey). We seemingly can't develop one, so we need to sign one if possible and continue building.
