We dropped the ball this year. The top free agents are:
Looking at guys under 35:
Offense
1). Aaron Judge (by far the top player in free agency and we lack power)
2). Tre Turner (the best player in free agency and we have two shortstops)
3). Nolan Arenado (the best 3rd baseman in the league, and we have a good one)
4). Anthony Rizzo (we need a first baseman)
5). Josh Bell (about the same as Hosmer)
Pitching
1). Carlos Rodon
1). Aaron Nola
3). Jacob deGrom (injury prone)
4). Clayton Kershaw (not sure why we didn't show interest last year, he's still solid)
5). Luis Severino
Our FA effective guys:
Nathan Eovaldi (need to sign him)
Michael Wacha (he was a surprise)
JD Martinez (we need a DH, his power stats may be down, but he can still hit)
Chris Sale (injured)
Eric Hosmer (injured)
