I would stick with Kakes in RF with a Duvall platoon. That's just because I think Waters will be ready by the middle of the year and then Pache will be ready not too long after that.

I would love to get both Wheeler and Bumgarner, but both are eligible for a qualifying offer and we won't give up 2 draft picks. I would prefer Bumgarner and then trade for a controllable starter or just use Wright/Wilson.

I also want to sign Will Smith to be the closer or a lefty setup man.

Yea, I wouldn’t mind keeping Markakis. I’ll also add I didn’t know Bumgarner was up for a QO. Not sure if Wheeler would get one at the price tag because he hasn’t played to that level yet to get that much imo. Not sure how all the details work of a QO though.

Do you guys think the Braves will pay 16m. or more for Ozuna? He might demand a multiple.

Washington has an option on Gomes. Grandal is going to be high priced if he leaves Milwaukee.

I don’t think Ozuna will get that big of a deal. He signed with STL at 12.5 mil and had a better year the year before he just had. I could see something around 3 year and no more than 40 mil.

You’re saying 13.33 m. per year. I think he gets more on the open market. Minimum 16m. Not many salaries stay the same, unless not successful during most current season. Donaldson was 7m. over market, after a poor, injury played year with two clubs.
