Busch will be their first basemen, Levine reported this already. ANd they don't want a long term deal at 3b as they have that pegged for Shaw in 25/26, so CHapman is likely out.Good Lord.....Busch has played a grand total of 18 games at 1B in his entire career. Like 250 at second, which is already occupied by a GGer and 74 at 3B which is where he should be. Probably mix and match with Madrigal providing he shows something with the bat. Putting him at first weakens the entire infield defense. He's not a good defender anywhere you put him, either DH him or hide him at 3B.....having him play 1B is Dumb, dumb, dumb.
I think they likely find a one year deal for 3b and trade for another pitcher and sign Belli for 4-5 years with player friendly opt outs.
