I don't disagree with any of this, but the problem moving Bohm and Marsh isn't enough and in all likelihood the player you get in return is either going to be futures or a lateral move or maybe a slight upgrade elsewhere that results in a downgrade at 3rd or CF/4th OF.
If you want to make a big splash you're going to need to 1) overpay in free agency like the Mets just did for Soto or 2) overpay for someone in a trade. The team isn't going to get better by getting a mid-level prospect or MLBer for Bohm or Marsh. They are going to have to trade Miller or Painter or Crawford if they want to acquire an impact player via trade like the Red Sox did trading a top 25 and top 55 MLB prospect. I would have been fine doing that but I know many (apparently including the Phillies) were not willing to pay that price. Or you are throwing money at a guy like Soto (or whomever your FA target is) that will likely be an overpayment like Castellanos etc. who are good players but maybe not worth all that money. Again, I would have been fine doing that for Soto but many would not.
