The media is fully prepared to LOLMets in almost any plausible scenario today:

A) They stand pat and do nothing. The affirms the belief to the fans that the Gomez deal fell apart due to money and that they don't truly think they can win in 2015.

B) They do the Bruce for Wheeler trade or something similar. While this eases the financial concerns of the team it will be painted as a total PR/panic move.

C) They trade for a Will Venable type of player, who will clearly help but compared to what could have been on Wednesday totally meets the "socks on Christmas" analogy compared to what could have been on Wednesday.
