Well, there are a couple of other big things about the starters:
1) Sale was signed to that extension in spite of all the injury concerns and it doesn't look good.
2) DD's big acquisition was Eovaldi and that doesn't look good either.
It's a bit odd that we pretty much know in advance that JBJ's arb award will be too high.
But the real question is, how much could he realistically expect to get in free agency if we non-tender him?
And I'm not trying to be a pain the ass about it, but it would be cool to see a list of available guys with:
1) Estimated 2020 salary.
2) 2019 UZR/150 or some other defensive rating.
You kind of upped the ante with 'dirt cheap super defensive CF'er'.
The list can only be made up of guys who are available, dirt cheap and super defenders.
I don't disagree. But Moose was a fluke. He got a tiny fraction of what was projected. It was similar to the Kimbrel and Keuchel situations where one or two guys end up the evening sad and lonely without a dance partner...
