So you’re saying I should give up on hoping for Bellinger and resign myself to Morel and Happ at the corners?But going at it from a needs perspective.
Jed will need a RH counter to PCA at CF. Harrison Bader will be on the market. Would make a decent platoon partner.
Bull pen:
Middle Relief: Reynaldo Lopez (30)* No Q offer to deal with. He has been up to 98MPH in the pen. City should know him well.
Closer: Josh Hader (30) I'm pretty sure SD will give a Q offer and Jed should accept it regardless.
Now the main issue will be getting full time PA to Morel and Canario.
One out of the box approach is moving Happ to 1B. He came up at 2B. Has played 3B so 1B should not be a reach and he ages into the position.
LF goes to Canario full time.
This opens up Morel to work on 3B for the off season.
If Morel is hopeless at 3B then a investment would be needed for 3B. Matt Chapman would be the prime target there and Morel continues as the prime DH.
Bellinger would end up forced into 1B full time on the Cubs and I'm no sure if that is the best opportunity for him in the market.
Shoot me now!
