With the new emphasis on defense, what happens to Yasmany Tomas?
-- Bob S., Oro Valley, Ariz.
I really don't see Tomas' role changing much from last year. Ideally, the D-backs would be able to move him to an American League team, where he could serve as a designated hitter. That would both help the outfield defense as well as give Arizona more payroll flexibility. However, there are a lot of sluggers on the market this offseason, which makes it harder to trade him.
Tomas' contract is also not ideal, given that he has a player option after 2018.
