When you rack up the most wins in the National League and come within one game of reaching the World Series, it makes sense to want to keep most of those players.
So it’s probably no surprise that David Stearns and Craig Counsell said just that during their season-ending press conference this week, with Stearns saying while expects slight changes, this group will by and large be the one that’s back next season looking to make a second straight postseason appearance for the first time since 1981-1982.
Stearns said "vast majority of team" will be returning but said he expects slightly different roster when 2019 season opens.
