To have a brighter future, i.e. a better shot for
sustained contention. It is a frustrating spot: seemingly on the brink of contention, yet with a paltry stable in the farm system and few guys beyond Witt that are true cornerstones to build around. And like you said: reliant on veterans. Veterans that don't really factor into the long-term plans, and probably won't sustain their current performance levels.
