What is everyone hoping to see from JD this offseason? He should have about 60-70 mill available to play with. Maybe even a bit more. Pitching is the obvious problem area. Need at least 2 rotation arms, preferably 3. At least 1 BP arm would be good too.
For me:
Trade Choo
Trade Profar
RHP Jake Arrieta - 4 years/100 mill
RHP Tyler Chatwood - 3/30
RHP Miles Mikolas - 2/10
RHP Steve Cishek - 2/15
OF Melky Cabrera - 1/12
Total hit to payroll for 2018 - $59.5 mill minus however much a team takes on of Choo contract
Potential roster:
Lineup
SS Elvis Andrus
LF Melky Cabrera (S)
RF Nomar Mazara (L)
3B Adrian Beltre
DH Joey Gallo (L)
C Robinson Chirinos
2B Rougned Odor (L)
1B Ronald Guzman (L)
CF Delino DeShields

C Brett Nicholas (L)
INF Hanser Alberto
UTI Drew Robinson (L)
