good to see you back. I think the approach will likely be this. Ideally, a shortstop falls to us as a placeholder for House, although it would be a surprise if he's in dc before 2025. More likely, a bunch of 1 year deals we hope to hit on.
Thanks. I definitely expect a bunch of 1-year deals and 2 years at the most. I wouldn't expect a low ceiling vet like Lester added to the rotation, but rather a "lottery" ticket where you think you can turn a guy around that's been ineffective/injured but has upside. I think we'll add a corner OF slugger like Schwarber that's cheap due to a bad year this year, but like Schwarber could bounce back. I think Robles will get more time unless he's struggling into the summer and we're contending. I expect Kieboom to get his shot at 3B and Garcia 2B, so we need someone to play SS. Davey loves forner Cubs, so would Baez off a terrible year take a 1-year deal to rebuild value? That's a nice upside play. Would Rizzo be another in that boat, and perhaps we play Bell in LF?
