MLB Free Agency 2018: Updated Team-by-Team Offseason Report Cards
Pitchers and catchers will soon report to Florida and Arizona. Baseball season is nigh. Yet a bevy of top free agents and trade targets remain on the market.
That makes it impossible to issue final grades for the 2017-18 offseason. Too many seismic moves will happen, tweaking the calculus.
We can, however, hand out updated progress reports based on the swaps and signings that have gone down.
Each team is graded on a curve, with its status as a contender or rebuilder, its financial and prospect resources and its offseason objectives taken into account. All of these grades are fluid, but they represent where the 30 clubs stand as the end of January approaches.
When we list each team's key offseason losses, we are including only players who have been traded or free agents who have signed with new teams as of this writing. And key offseason additions include only players likely to have an immediate impact on the MLB roster.
American League West
1 of 6
Houston Astros
Key additions: RHP Gerrit Cole, RHP Joe Smith, RHP Hector Rondon
Key losses: RHP Luke Gregerson, RHP Mike Fiers
The Houston Astros netted a potential front-line starter when they acquired right-hander Gerrit Cole from the Pittsburgh Pirates. None of the four prospects who went to Pittsburgh were rated among the Astros' top five by MLB.com, so while Cole comes with some warts after an injury-riddled 2016 and 4.26 ERA in 2017, he didn't gut Houston's farm.
The 'Stros lost setup man Luke Gregerson, who signed with the St. Louis Cardinals, but have added right-handers Joe Smith and Hector Rondon. Smith is a late-inning option and could better Gregerson's output. Rondon is a decent comeback candidate after battling elbow issues in 2017.
What the Astros lack is a reliable left-hander out of the bullpen. Tony Sipp posted a 5.79 ERA last season, and Rule 5 draft pickup Anthony Gose is a converted outfielder with a live fastball but zero big league pitching experience. The champs don't have many weaknesses, but that's one they should seek to shore up.
Grade: B
Los Angeles Angels
Key additions: RHP Shohei Ohtani, INF Zack Cozart, 2B Ian Kinsler, RHP Jim Johnson
Key losses: RHP Yusmeiro Petit
The Los Angeles Angels landed arguably the most intriguing player of the offseason when they won the Shohei Ohtani sweepstakes. It remains to be seen how the two-way Japanese star's skill set will translate stateside, but the slender 23-year-old brings a blazing fastball, big-time power and a ton of buzz.
The Halos also upgraded their infield by inking free-agent Zack Cozart to a three-year, $38 million deal and acquiring second baseman Ian Kinsler from the Detroit Tigers.
Cozart, who posted a career-best .933 OPS last season with the Cincinnati Reds, will slot in at third base and join shortstop Andrelton Simmons to form an electric left-side defensive duo. Kinsler brings a reliable veteran presence and didn't cost a trove of prospects since he will hit the market after next season.
The Angels also signed outfielder Justin Upton to a five-year, $106 million extension, which prevented the four-time All-Star from testing free agency. The deal could sting at the back end, but it makes Los Angeles better right now.
The Astros remain the class of the American League West. But even with a strained budget and fallow farm system, the Angels have managed to construct a viable wild-card contender around superstar Mike Trout.
Grade: A-
Oakland Athletics
Key additions: OF Stephen Piscotty, RHP Yusmeiro Petit, RHP Emilio Pagan
Key losses: 1B Ryon Healy
The Oakland Athletics proved they are not in full-on rebuild mode when they acquired outfielder Stephen Piscotty from the St. Louis Cardinals. Piscotty is coming off a down year in which he hit .235 with a .708 OPS, but he's a big league-caliber talent who looked like a rising star as recently as 2016.
The A's also dealt power-hitting first baseman Ryon Healy to the Seattle Mariners for a package that included right-hander Emilio Pagan, who could join free-agent acquisition Yusmeiro Petit to strengthen the bullpen.
Oakland has a question mark behind the dish and, as ever, is a small-market underdog. But the A's have added more than they have jettisoned while hanging on to their top prospects.
Grade: B-
Seattle Mariners
Key additions: INF/OF Dee Gordon, 1B Ryon Healy, RHP Juan Nicasio
Key losses: 1B Yonder Alonso, RHP Yovani Gallardo, RHP Emilio Pagan
It's been a head-scratching winter for the Seattle Mariners. The team's rotation was a mess last season, as they sent 17 starters to the hill amid a raft of injuries and underperformance.
Yet the Mariners' biggest acquisition was speedy second baseman Dee Gordon. That's fine in isolation. Despite his performance-enhancing drug baggage, Gordon stole an MLB-leading 60 bases in 2017 and can be a dynamic table-setter.
The trouble is the M's already have a second baseman named Robinson Cano and will ask Gordon to man center field, a position he's never played in the big leagues.
The Mariners bolstered their bullpen with the signing of right-hander Juan Nicasio and acquired Healy to fill the power gap at first created by Yonder Alonso's departure. They've done nothing to address their rotation, however, and created a probable defensive liability in center.
Grade: D+
Texas Rangers
Key additions: LHP Mike Minor, LHP Matt Moore, RHP Doug Fister
Key losses: RHP Miguel Gonzalez
The Texas Rangers have made ancillary additions to their starting five, inking left-hander Mike Minor and right-hander Doug Fister and acquiring lefty Matt Moore from the San Francisco Giants.
All three bring upside to the back end of the rotation, but none will replace free agent Yu Darvish, whom the Rangers traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers last year at the deadline.
If Texas is serious about contending in the crowded American League West, it needs to do more to support ostensible ace Cole Hamels, who posted a 4.20 ERA last season, and add offense to account for the potential departures of free agents Carlos Gomez and Mike Napoli. The rise of young slugger Willie Calhoun, acquired in the Darvish trade, could help in the latter department.
Grade: C-
American League Central
2 of 6
Chicago White Sox
Key additions: C Welington Castillo, RHP Joakim Soria, LHP Luis Avilan, RHP Miguel Gonzalez
Key losses: N/A
The Chicago White Sox's primary offseason objective was to hang on to their young, emerging core and continue the rebuild. After some nonsensical December rumors they were pursuing a one-year rental of Baltimore Orioles third baseman Manny Machado, that's exactly what they have done.
Chicago inked catcher Welington Castillo for two years and $15 million and bolstered their bullpen by bringing back free agent Miguel Gonzalez and acquiring right-hander Joakim Soria and left-hander Luis Avilan in a three-team trade with the Los Angeles Dodgers and Kansas City Royals.
The White Sox are a year or two away from serious contention, but they did fine with the moves they made and even better with the ones they didn't make.
Grade: B
Cleveland Indians
Key additions: 1B Yonder Alonso
Key losses: 1B Carlos Santana, OF Jay Bruce, RHP Bryan Shaw, RHP Joe Smith, OF Austin Jackson
The Cleveland Indians are the undeniable American League Central favorites, but they have not improved their position in the Junior Circuit hierarchy this winter.
They bid adieu to first baseman Carlos Santana, outfielders Jay Bruce and Austin Jackson and relievers Bryan Smith and Joe Smith via free agency. They signed Yonder Alonso to help fill the gap at first, but there's no sugarcoating the fact Cleveland has lost far more than it has gained.
The Tribe has strong starting pitching, solid late-inning relief and enough offense to be a factor but looks like less of a title contender than it did a few months ago.
Grade: D
Detroit Tigers
Key additions: RHP Mike Fiers
Key losses: 2B Ian Kinsler
The Detroit Tigers made the right call in trading Ian Kinsler to the Angels, even if the return was modest. They have finally initiated an overdue rebuild after a 98-loss season.
They have got expensive veterans (Miguel Cabrera and Victor Martinez) and tradable young pieces (right-hander Michael Fulmer) on the roster, but it's possible the offseason is mostly concluded.
It hasn't been titillating, and the Tigers could again threaten 100 losses in 2018. But they have shifted the franchise in the right direction, avoiding expensive contracts and trading established players where it makes sense.
Grade: C
Minnesota Twins
Key additions: RHP Fernando Rodney, RHP Addison Reed, RHP Michael Pineda, LHP Zach Duke
Key losses: N/A
After turning a 103-loss 2016 into a wild-card berth in 2017, the Minnesota Twins have a path back to the postseason in the weak AL Central.
They have added a pair of late-inning arms in Fernando Rodney and Addison Reed and picked up hard-throwing right-hander Michael Pineda, who is coming off Tommy John surgery but could contribute at some point in 2018.
The Twins still need a top-of-the-rotation starter and have been linked to Yu Darvish, with Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reporting team owner Jim Pohlad would bring in the right-hander at "the right price." That type of addition would vault Minnesota's offseason to the next level and cement their status as bona fide contenders.
Grade: B-
Kansas City Royals
Key additions: N/A
Key losses: OF Lorenzo Cain, RHP Joakim Soria, LHP Mike Minor
After eschewing a trade deadline sell-off last season and missing the playoffs, the Kansas City Royals are poised to lose a boatload of talent.
Outfielder Lorenzo Cain was the first major piece to officially jump ship, signing a five-year, $80 million deal with the Milwaukee Brewers Thursday, per ESPN.com's Jerry Crasnick.
Soon, first baseman Eric Hosmer, third baseman Mike Moustakas, shortstop Alcides Escobar and others could follow.
K.C. reportedly made a seven-year, $147 million offer to Hosmer, per USA Today's Bob Nightengale. If he accepts, it could amount to a rebuilding team spending lavishly and unnecessarily out of misplaced nostalgia.
The Royals have theoretically tradable pieces, including reliever Kelvin Herrera, but their decision to reject a fire sale is looking worse by the moment.
Grade: D-
American League East
3 of 6
Baltimore Orioles
Key additions: N/A
Key losses: C Welington Castillo
Aside from the persistent Manny Machado rumblings, the Baltimore Orioles have been a non-factor this offseason.
They haven't sold any key pieces to kick off a rebuild. Nor have they done much of anything to address a starting rotation that ranked 27th in baseball with a 4.97 ERA.
Maybe the O's are hoping they can stay the course and compete for a wild-card spot in Machado's final season before free agency, but that seems like a fool's errand in the top-heavy American League East.
Grade: D-
Boston Red Sox
Key additions: N/A
Key losses: RHP Addison Reed, RHP Doug Fister
The Boston Red Sox are going to add a big hitter. That's a near certainty after they finished last in the AL in home runs in 2017.
All they have done this offseason is re-up first baseman Mitch Moreland and watch setup man Addison Reed sign with the Twins.
A massive contract for someone such as outfielder J.D. Martinez is probably coming. Until then, Sox fans can stare at the New York Yankees' lineup of young mashers and wring their hands.
Grade: D
New York Yankees
Key additions: OF Giancarlo Stanton
Key losses: 2B Starlin Castro, 3B Chase Headley, RHP Michael Pineda, RHP Bryan Mitchell
The Yankees made the biggest splash of the winter when they acquired NL MVP Giancarlo Stanton from the Miami Marlins in December.
Stanton joins fellow outfielder Aaron Judge and catcher Gary Sanchez to form an offensive nucleus that could combine for 150 home runs.
The Yanks also re-signed veteran southpaw CC Sabathia to shore up the rotation and thus boast one of the game's best bullpens. They need help in the infield after trading third baseman Chase Headley and second baseman Starlin Castro, but top prospect Gleyber Torres is likely ready to take over one of those spots.
New York isn't a perfect team, but the Judge-Stanton pairing makes them arguably the most compelling show in the major league.
Grade: A-
Tampa Bay Rays
Key additions: OF Denard Span
Key losses: 3B Evan Longoria, RHP Brad Boxberger, RHP Steve Cishek, RHP Tommy Hunter
The Tampa Bay Rays shed salary when they dealt third baseman Evan Longoria to the San Francisco Giants. And they got some interesting pieces back, including young infielder Christian Arroyo, who may see big league playing time in 2018.
They also shipped out a Gold Glove winner and franchise cornerstone. If other key offensive contributors such as Logan Morrison walk via free agency, the Rays could be staring down the barrel of a sell-off come July, with the likes of ace Chris Archer on the trading block.
Grade: C
Toronto Blue Jays
Key additions: OF Curtis Granderson, SS Aledmys Diaz, INF Yangervis Solarte
Key losses: N/A
The Toronto Blue Jays have made ancillary additions. They have acquired shortstop Aledmys Diaz from the St. Louis Cardinals and infielder Yangervis Solarte from the San Diego Padres, as well as signing veteran outfielder Curtis Granderson to help fill the void created by free agent Jose Bautista's impending departure.
They are clearly committed to keeping third baseman Josh Donaldson in his final year before free agency. Like the Orioles, though, they haven't done enough to compete with the Yankees and Red Sox (assuming Boston gets a hitter) and appear destined for another sub-.500 finish before waving goodbye to Donaldson.
Grade: D+
National League West
4 of 6
Arizona Diamondbacks
Key additions: RHP Yoshihisa Hirano, RHP Brad Boxberger
Key losses: RHP Fernando Rodney
Barring a last-minute decision to spend huge and bring him back, we will soon be adding masher J.D. Martinez to the Arizona Diamondbacks' "key losses" column. Still, the D-backs have enough offense to compete without Martinez, who came over in a deadline deal with the Tigers.
They have addressed the loss of often-wobbly closer Fernando Rodney by signing established Japanese reliever Yoshihisa Hirano and acquiring right-hander Brad Boxberger from Tampa Bay, savvy moves that didn't break the payroll or prospect bank.
A big splash could get Arizona closer to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League West pecking order, but they are a playoff contender as is.
Grade: B
Colorado Rockies
Key additions: RHP Wade Davis, RHP Bryan Shaw, C Chris Iannetta
Key losses: RHP Pat Neshek, RHP Tyler Chatwood
The Colorado Rockies' bullpen was a strength in 2017 and a big reason why the Rocks earned the NL's second wild-card spot. They lost setup man Pat Neshek to free agency and are likely to lose closer Greg Holland via the same route.
They have been proactive, however, inking Bryan Shaw away from Cleveland and signing Wade Davis to a three-year, $52 million pact.
The latter could amount to an overpay, but it shows Colorado's dedication to remaining in the playoff picture. The Rockies also acquired catcher Chris Iannetta to mitigate Jonathan Lucroy's probable departure.
They remain a notch below L.A. and Arizona and will be in for a divisional dogfight with the San Francisco Giants making moves, but they deserve kudos for pouring resources into the 'pen.
Grade: B
Los Angeles Dodgers
Key additions: OF Matt Kemp, LHP Scott Alexander
Key losses: RHP Brandon Morrow, RHP Brandon McCarthy, LHP Scott Kazmir, 1B Adrian Gonzalez, OF Curtis Granderson, LHP Luis Avilan
The Los Angeles Dodgers have played it cool this offseason. They have opted to shed salary by trading pitchers Brandon McCarthy and Scott Kazmir and first baseman Adrian Gonzalez to the Atlanta Braves for old friend Matt Kemp. They let key setup man Brandon Morrow walk via free agency.
Critically, they have shied away from all of the top free agent and trade targets.
That may seem an odd route for a club that won the NL pennant in 2017 but hasn't tasted a title since 1988. Should the Dodgers have a greater sense of urgency?
Perhaps. They could use depth in a crowded but uncertain outfield and maybe another arm in the 'pen. They are an incredibly deep and dangerous team as constructed, however, and may be setting their sites on the vaunted free-agent class of 2018-19, when ace Clayton Kershaw could be among the available names if he opts out.
Grade: B-
San Diego Padres
Key additions: 3B Chase Headley, RHP Bryan Mitchell
Key losses: RHP Jhoulys Chacin, INF Yangervis Solarte
The San Diego Padres chose to take Chase Headley and Bryan Mitchell off the Yankees' hands in a straight salary dump for New York.
Despite Mitchell's value as a middle reliever who can also start and Headley's status as a familiar face in San Diego, it was an odd move for a rebuilding club that should be focused on youth and payroll flexibility.
Other than that, the Friars haven't done much aside from shipping infielder Yangervis Solarte to Toronto for a couple of minor leaguers.
It's a good thing the Pads held on to their top young talent. But the deal with the Yanks feels superfluous and counterintuitive.
Grade: C-
San Francisco Giants
Key additions: OF Andrew McCutchen, 3B Evan Longoria, OF Austin Jackson
Key losses: LHP Matt Moore, OF Denard Span
The Giants are a tough case.
On the one hand, they are coming off a 98-loss season and have an aging core. Their even-year title magic is in the rearview mirror. The decision to trade prospects for expensive veterans sounds like doubling down on a bad bet.
That said, San Francisco undeniably got better by adding outfielder Andrew McCutchen in a trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates, acquiring third baseman Evan Longoria from the Rays and signing outfielder Austin Jackson.
Put those players around the likes of catcher Buster Posey, shortstop Brandon Crawford, second baseman Joe Panik and first baseman Brandon Belt and you have yourself the makings of a decent lineup.
The rotation is iffy behind the trio of Madison Bumgarner, Johnny Cueto and Jeff Samardzija, and the bullpen has questions as well, but the Giants made enough moves to contend in 2018 without decimating their already thin farm system.
Grade: B-
National League Central
5 of 6
Chicago Cubs
Key additions: RHP Brandon Morrow, RHP Tyler Chatwood, RHP Steve Cishek, LHP Drew Smyly
Key losses: RHP Wade Davis, RHP Hector Rondon
The Chicago Cubs lost closer Wade Davis to free agency and added relievers Brandon Morrow and Steve Cishek. They could soon lose starters Jake Arrieta and John Lackey after adding Tyler Chatwood and Drew Smyly.
If those feel like lateral or, more likely, backwards moves, that's because they are.
The Cubs are one of the top teams in baseball. They won the World Series in 2016 and advanced to the National League Championship Series in 2017. No one's saying they are about to plummet off a cliff.
Without another marquee addition to the starting rotation and/or bullpen, though, it's difficult to argue the Cubs will be better than they were last season, when they were bested by the Dodgers in the NLCS four games to one.
Grade: C
Cincinnati Reds
Key additions: RHP Jared Hughes
Key losses: SS Zack Cozart
There was a case to be made for the Cincinnati Reds trading shortstop Zack Cozart at the 2017 deadline instead of watching him walk away via free agency this winter. Maybe Cincinnati simply didn't get any desirable offers, but it's a blemish on management's record.
Other than that, the Reds haven't done an awful lot, which isn't surprising.
Billy Hamilton trade rumors aside, they don't have many moveable pieces, and they are certainly not in a position to sign expensive free agents at this stage of their rebuild.
Grade: C
Milwaukee Brewers
Key additions: OF Lorenzo Cain, OF Christian Yelich, RHP Jhoulys Chacin, RHP Yovani Gallardo
Key losses: RHP Jared Hughes
The Milwaukee Brewers remade their outfield by acquiring Christian Yelich from the Marlins, per Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, and signing outfielder Lorenzo Cain for five years and $80 million, per ESPN.com's Jerry Crasnick.
The Brew Crew gave up significant pieces to land Yelich, including top outfield prospect Lewis Brinson. The 26-year-old, however, is a prize. He won a Gold Glove in 2014 and has posted a plus-.800 OPS mark in each of the past two seasons. Cain, meanwhile, will probably be a payroll drag at the end of his deal, but the 31-year-old is a plus defender with speed and power.
The Brewers could use help in the rotation, and Yahoo Japan reported they put an offer on the table for Darvish (h/t ESPN.com). But the moves the team has already made send a bold signal that Milwaukee is prepared to make its move in the National League Central.
Grade: A-
Pittsburgh Pirates
Key additions: N/A
Key losses: OF Andrew McCutchen, RHP Gerrit Cole
When fans start a Change.org petition demanding you sell your team and it gets more than 59,000 signatures as of this writing, that's a bad sign.
So it goes for Bob Nutting, principal owner of the Pittsburgh Pirates and principal villain in the tearing down of the team's once-promising core.
Two years ago, the Bucs won 98 games. Now, they have shipped Andrew McCutchen to San Francisco and Cole to the Houston Astros and could sink to last place.
You can parse the merits of the trades. McCutchen is in his final year before free agency. Cole wobbled over his past two seasons. The optics stink for Nutting and company, however, and attendances will undoubtedly shrivel accordingly.
Grade: D
St. Louis Cardinals
Key additions: OF Marcell Ozuna, RHP Luke Gregerson, RHP Miles Mikolas
Key losses: RHP Juan Nicasio, LHP Zach Duke, SS Aledmys Diaz
After making a hard play for Stanton and falling short, the St. Louis Cardinals nabbed another Marlins outfielder with tremendous upside in Marcell Ozuna.
The 27-year-old doesn't boast the awe-inspiring thump of his former teammate, but he's a two-time All-Star who hit 37 homers and won a Gold Glove in 2017. Not a bad consolation prize.
The Cards also signed Luke Gregerson to buttress the bullpen and inked ex-big leaguer Miles Mikolas out of Japan to fill a rotation spot.
That's not enough to push St. Louis to the top of the NL Central power rankings, but the Redbirds have quietly and efficiently done enough to be a legitimate Senior Circuit factor.
Grade: B+
National League East
6 of 6
Atlanta Braves
Key additions: RHP Brandon McCarthy, LHP Scott Kazmir
Key losses: 1B Matt Adams, OF Matt Kemp
The Atlanta Braves found a taker for Adrian Gonzalez after acquiring him from the Dodgers. Gonzalez is now a member of the New York Mets. Before that, they shed outfielder Matt Kemp's albatross deal when they brought on A-Gon.
The Braves retain the services of ex-Dodgers starters Brandon McCarthy and Scott Kazmir, who could fill out Atlanta's rotation if healthy and effective. Emphasis on "if."
They also weathered a storm concerning international signing rules that cost them 13 prospects and got general manager John Coppolella banned for life by MLB in November.
It's been a topsy-turvy offseason, to say the least, but Atlanta boasts one of the best farm systems in baseball and has a bright, if somewhat blighted, future.
Grade: C-
Miami Marlins
Key additions: 2B Starlin Castro
Key losses: OF Giancarlo Stanton, OF Marcell Ozuna, OF Christian Yelich, 2B Dee Gordon
To be fair, the Miami Marlins have obtained some high-upside prospects via trades this winter. Their farm system is better than it was at the start of the offseason.
To be clear, the Marlins have traded away possibly the most exciting, talented outfield in the game and appear hell-bent on ripping the franchise to shreds and slashing payroll to the bone.
Blame CEO Derek Jeter if you must—and many have, as Bleacher Report's Danny Knobler outlined—but Jeter's merely the frontman for a cabal of new owners intent on filleting the Fish.
The Marlins' moves are barely defensible if you put on thick, rose-colored prospect glasses. Take those glasses off and you will see a cynical salary dump and an impending string of 100-loss seasons in South Beach.
Grade: D-
New York Mets
Key additions: OF Jay Bruce, 1B Adrian Gonzalez, INF Jose Reyes, RHP Anthony Swarzak
Key losses: N/A
The New York Mets' 2018 season hinges on the health of the club's rotation. It's as simple as that.
If Noah Syndergaard, Steven Matz and Zack Wheeler can join Jacob deGrom and maybe even Matt Harvey to form an effective, non-injured starting five, New York could crank back the clock to 2015. If not, well, it won't.
Yes, the Mets added slugging outfielder Jay Bruce after trading him in July to the Indians, took a flier on Adrian Gonzalez and brought back Jose Reyes, per the Associated Press. Also, yeah, they could use help in the bullpen.
If those starters can't stay off the disabled list, though, it will all be for naught.
Grade: C-
Philadelphia Phillies
Key additions: 1B Carlos Santana, RHP Pat Neshek, RHP Tommy Hunter
Key losses: N/A
The Philadelphia Phillies boosted their offense when they signed first baseman Carlos Santana to a hefty three-year, $60 million deal. They also signaled their intent to kickstart the rebuild.
Santana brings power, on-base capabilities and postseason experience to a lineup largely comprised of youngsters and prospects.
The Phils also added pitching experience through Pat Neshek and Tommy Hunter's additions, though questions linger in the starting rotation.
Philadelphia has cash to spend but would be wise to not splurge on any remaining free agents and save its resources for moves next winter.
Grade: B
Washington Nationals
Key additions: 1B Matt Adams
Key losses: N/A
The Washington Nationals are entering what may be their final go-round with franchise icon Bryce Harper. They have won four of the past six National League East titles yet never advanced past the division series.
There are win-now seasons, and then there are win-now seasons.
That said, the Nats don't have a ton of glaring needs. They could upgrade the bullpen, but they have got a solid late-inning trio in Sean Doolittle, Ryan Madson and Brandon Kintzler. They might miss hirsute free-agent outfielder Jayson Werth, assuming he walks, but they have got Adam Eaton, Michael Taylor and Harper from left to right and top prospect Victor Robles waiting in the wings.
The Nationals should probably just sign another expensive reliever such as Greg Holland or pull the trigger on their Craig Mish of SiriusXM-reported pursuit of Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto. Now is the time to gild the lily.
You can't fully fault them for their lack of action, though. They are already pretty darn good.
Grade: B-
