I'm not sure if that offer with a Moncada like prospect is going to be available. I think we get a big trade done.
I don't think we will get a big FA, but we could. It's almost like a NBA trade where you are just putting yourself in position for that disgruntled superstar when they come. After this year we could dump Markakis and replace him with DPeterson and likely not lose anything. Then we could have minimum salaries at RF, SS, and 2B with Albies. Still pretty cheap in CF. We would have the room to make a big signing if the opportunity presents itself.
