The last time everyone complained about no talent in the outfield was literally a year before we got the Benintendi/JBJ/Betts outfield that was outstanding. Things could look very different out there in two years, still, I don't see anything in the pipeline, we need at least one major upgrade out there to come from a trade/FA
The most obvious trade target to me is Oakland’s Ramon Laureano, who played CF and RF ( not at the same time; but that’d be cool) and has probably the best arm in MLB. He’s second year arb, meaning trade bait in Oakland. Lately Dave Forst was trading for quantity over quality, like with Chapman and Olson. But he did go for quality with Montas. BTV accepts Yorke and Duran, but I doubt Boston parts with Yorke. Bello and Duran, whose speed in a spacious Oakland OF helps in the corners and whose salary fits their books, is more likely. Pending approval of Forst, of course…
I didn’t know Dave Forst gave you power of attorney.
I actually doubt Yorke’s status has taken as much of a hit. Scouts still love his advanced approach and overall hit tool, and one season won’t immediately change that, especially for a 20yo. Plenty of guys his age struggle as sophomores in college but go on to get drafted early…
