Not a serious org
It has nothing to do with about being a serious organization, but a consequence of your personnel decisions. It will result when you are relying on two catchers like Jansen and Kirk. Whether you say it is Bad Luck or that Jansen is made of Glass- the guy is injury prone every year. That is the one consistent and frustrating thing about him every year. Meanwhile Kirk requires to be load managed and needs his rest days (maybe due to his stamina/conditioning or fat and out of shape frame).
It would be nice if one our catchers was still Gabriel Moreno under team control for the next 6 seasons who lead MLB in Defensive War in 2023 as a Rookie- but evidently people like you and Ross Atkins felt that trading him for a below average hitting, Defensive outfielder like Varsho was the better move for this organization. That is why you are stuck relying on scrubs like Serven to be your backup catcher when Jansen is hurt, and Kirk needs his rest.
How is this a serious organization when Atkins can repeatedly spend sizable millions on sub replacement level players and still have a job?
Not to mention the lack of positional prospects over these years and offense that is now perennially underperforming
