3/75 or nothing.

I think a deal with St. Louis will happen.

I hope we get a catcher. Helsley would be great, but I don't want to overpay for 1 year. If he is the balancing act for Arenado, okay, but I still want STL to pay down some of Arenado's deal or take Yoshida + $8M x 3 years. We'd save $10M on Yoshida and pay in a sense, take $10M off Arenado's deal, which already has COL paying $5M x 2, and deferments brining the actual cost down lower than it looks on paper.

Herrera, Helsley and Arenado would solve 3-4 of our top 5-6 weak areas.

RHB, Catcher, 3B defense and maybe 1B defense, mildly. If we dump Yoshida, I'd be thrilled and count that as another weak area addressed. While I have major concerns on Arenado's bat falling off a cliff, and maybe not fixing the RHB issue, I'd still like Herrera and 1 year of Helsley. (Maybe we extend him, too.)

You really want Bailey Horn back I guess?
