We have enough budget space to sign a long term FA and eventually extend Devers while re-setting in 2023 or 2024.
We have a few big roles to fill, this winter, but maybe only 3 rather large signings or acquisitions are needed. That should be able to be sustained in future budgets. Yes, we lose Eovaldi after 2022, but we won't be missing Price. Replacing JD at his money should not be very difficult, but if we swing and miss, it could be really bad.
We'll need guys like Dalbec, Arroyo, Renfroe, Verdguo, Whitlock and Houck to play big roles at relatively low costs.
If we don't extend Devers, his cost will be less, via arbs, than the cost of a FA to give us what he gives.
