Unfortunately, that pivot doesn't seem to be going all that well at the moment. Not only did Anthopoulos whiff on one of his top targets on Wednesday, but he let that target go to the team's fiercest rival. And even worse, he didn't seem to try all that hard to keep it from happening.

It was his third tour with the team as he opted out of his deal after the 2022 season in search of a long-term deal.
