Contreras over Wells
Hoskins and Goldschmidt push
Chisholm over Turang

Chourio over Dominguez
Mitchell and Bellinger push
Judge over Frelick
Yelich over Rice
Unrelated note: Anthony Rizzo is still unsigned. Rizzo produced a .735 OPS during his four year stint in New York.
it rarely makes sense to want to sign a player for their entire career. The Cubs exited at the right time.
Do we expect Paul Goldschmidt will have a meaningful improvement in his age 37 season?
I was surprised to see his 1.3 wins above replacement level last year. It sure felt like less.
I forget our daily game thread grievances. Allowing a run in the first inning. Batting orders, strikeouts, leaving starter in too long, taking starter out too early. I’m sure I’ll remember tomorrow.
