They didn’t want to spend money required for a real starter. Expect lots of Espino and Abbot this year as starters. And of course Kuhl. It’s 2007-09 again.
I guess this wasn't a great year for FA starters. Not as deep as last year, but I have wanted them to look at giving some years at < $10 million AAV to establish some depth.
