30 Teams and What They Need to Do
To celebrate the holidays I wanted to take all 30 teams and say one thing they need to do this offseason. Every example of something a team should do is my own opinion and I do not double dip on a deal so every move I suggest is unique to that team. Enjoy;
AL East:
Red Sox- Sign someone to fill the void of David Ortiz (ex. Sign Jose Bautista)
Blue Jays- Get outfielders who can aid the Blue Jays power filled lineup (ex. Re-Sign Michael Saunders)
Orioles- Add pitching depth (ex. Sign Jason Hammel)
Yankees- Add rotational depth (ex. Trade for Jose Quintana)
Rays- Continue to rebuild and trade rotation pieces (ex. Chris Archer, Jake Odorizzi)
AL Central:
Indians- Add one more reliever to solidify the Indians bullpen as one of the best in baseball (ex. Trade for Brad Brach)
Royals- Try and extend or trade all the people in their walk year (ex. Lorenzo Cain or Eric Hosmer)
Tigers- Add a bullpen arm (ex. Trade of David Robertson or Nate Jones)
White Sox- Trade guys and rebuild (ex. Jose Quintana, Todd Friazer etc.)
Twins- Trade big pieces before their value goes down (Ex. Brian Dozier)
AL West:
Rangers- Add outfield depth (Ex. Trade for Jay Bruce)
Astros- Add an ok bullpen arm just to help eat innings (ex. Trade for David Robertson)
Mariners- Take time to let their guys develop ; don't trade young pieces away
Angles- Try to get guys to build around Mike Trout, or trade him (ex. Trade for Todd Frazier)
Athletics- Wait it out and go into full rebuild mode
NL East:
Nationals- Make a team around Harper, Scherzer, and Strausburg before you have to trade them (ex. Trade for Devin Mesoraco)
Mets- Trade guys who are very valuable (ex. Trade Jay Bruce or Curtis Granderson)
Marlins- Let their young players develop and wait for the Mets and Nationals to loose their big pieces
Braves- Keep on rebuilding
Phillies- Trade guys and rebuild (ex. Trade Jeremy Hellickson)
NL Central:
Cubs- Find something for Jayson Heyward to do besides waste money
Cardinals- Try to get younger (they've taken steps with guys like Stephen Piscotty, and Aledmys Diaz but take it to the next level)
Pirates- Trade guys and pile up prospects till they can compete with teams like that Cubs and
Brewers- Let the young guys develop and try to build around them
Reds- Trade the guys who have value (ex. Trade Devin Mesoraco)
NL West:
Dodgers- Find a way to cut spending
Giants- Find a way to stay competitive with the Dodgers (ex. Trade for Yangervis Solarte)
Diamondbacks- Let their younger guys develop and try to build a team around Paul Goldshmidt and Zack Grenkie
Rockies- Get pitching aid (ex. Trade for Gio Gonzalez)
Padres- Let Will Myers grow into the player everyone thought he would become in 2013 and then build around him
Hope you enjoyed, have a happy holidays, and remember, 49 days till pitchers and Catchers report (as of 12/25)
