These are wealthy pro athletes that are out of touch with the game. When you see a team with a team batting average of ,237, an on base percentage of .316, no one on the team hitting over .291, and a team ERA of 4.39 with a half game over .500, you are not going to find a player there that is anywhere close to the worth for the money they are getting as only six people that have played for them this year have a salary under $1M. which includes all the people replacing hurt ones and the regular rotation folks that moved from AAA briefly to roster up particular needs of the big club.
The highest paid is Bryce Harper who is currently hitting .290 with 23 hr and 53 rbi’s. His salary is at $25.5 million before incentives, a year.
Their best pitcher, Zack Wheeler, is one game over .500 and has the most wins on the staff at 10 . He makes a little over $22 million before incentives.
They have a team fielding percentage of .983 which plces them 11th of the 15 national league teams.
This isn’t a baseball team. They’re scam artist draining the public’s pockets with media hypes and gimmicks. And about the onlk thing that can be positive is there are worse teams. Not many, but some.

Nice analysis if a little off topic. Can’t disagree with anything you said.
Interesting analysis
