2025 Prospects Thread

It is actually a decent idea for a poverty franchise but they pretend we are a poverty franchise so I guess your point still applies.

It's probably how they could afford to go after Naylor, even teams that aren't so poverty driven need to find ways to save money. You could spend more and end up with less WAR. Or use him someplace else. Replacing Moore could make sense but then you have both corner infielders to replace. Honestly, williamson and naylor at the corners, your outfield is already deep enough. Really just leaves 2nd base. Bring Polanco back and play him there part time, rivas? And this is before an actual blockbuster type move from Dipoto. Maybe you dip into your pitching and add another bat. There are possibilities for fielding a pretty decent team.

What kind of move would that be

Blockbuster is the wrong term but the fact is they have a lot of trade capital available. You can make an argument for a pretty much status quo lineup next season, or on the other hand dipoto could actually upgrade a position. The outfield is probably the easiest but the least needed. I am going to say first base is surprisingly thin isn't it. Thats for the hot stove, where could they upgrade with a prospect trade
