This was obviously just a bridge year to 2022. Only one guy was signed for longer than a year (kike)and that was just for 2 years.
He waited to fill 2B, CF and 1B, so his top prospects could get a look at some point.
He'll have plenty of cash to spend, next year and has nice options on Richards & Perez.
He should have a lot of key questions answered- for good or bad, and the biggest choices start, this winter.
He will ultimately be judged on this winter and beyond, IMO.
He's shown he can find some gems in the rough, and that is important, but the big moves will mean more than anything he's done to date, except for the Betts deal.
