Espada, promoted from bench coach, led them to 88 wins and a division title his rookie season, but now faces pressure to deliver again as ownership tightens the purse strings, reportedly blocking key trades like a potential deal for Bryan Abreu. With the offseason uncertain and the Wild Card race heating up, Espada must juggle immediate wins while navigating a future that’s far from guaranteed.
