Really like this signing for the Snakes. Very good top 3 in that rotation now.

Wow, really surprised but very pleasantly so

Depending on the Dodgers moves I wouldn’t be shocked to see Arizona take that division. They’ve got a great team make-up. Feel like they need some power though.

I definitely want some better relievers still. Ideally I'd take just one great closer, but I'm not holding my breath.

As for power, that's always the concern, but I think Moreno should hit more this year, Carroll may be around 30, Walker may be anywhere from 30-40, and I expect Suarez to come in around 25 or 30, with Marte around 20. Alek Thomas actually does have decent power, but he needs to tweak his swing a little bit mechanically, so I hope they're working on that with him at some point. I could see him putting up 15 potentially. It's not a lot of power but it shouldn't really hold them back too much with their speed and defense.

Expensive for him but to get a lefty to combat the Ohtani Freeman part of the lineup will be good

While throwing for rehab, felt more tightness in his shoulder, so he'll be out even longer now. Not sure if there's even a timetable. Probably wasn't going to be back until May anyway. Now might be into June or later.
