Glad to hear we made a competitive offer for Higgy
In Preller I blindly trust
I’m guessing we sign Diaz, trade campy for a decent starter (Not a cease or king, but better than a Brito/Vasquez), and sign an outfielder, but I’m not sure we will get Profar. Dude was still an all star even if he cooled off alot towards the end of 2024. He’s due atleast a 3 year deal, maybe $50M+. Especially with what conforto got, whoever doesn’t get Teoscar or Santander is going to be desperate (BOS/Tor/NYY/LAD).
Also gotta think we are going to pull up Tirso and/or one of the minor league deals we signed. Lastly, I know we joke alot about a team full of short stops be legit, who is going to be our SS? I know we could put Xander again but I’d rather he stay at 2B, especially because his defense isn’t the best. Crone I guess? Although I’d rather he play 1B and we keep arraez at DH. And he we put Crone at SS, then we need a DH. I know we had a great squad last year, but we do have some serious holes to plug or we might end up looking like 2023 again
