Could Alex Anthopoulos go with a one-year deal for $18-20 million for A.J. Pollock? Other than Pollock, what options seem likely for the corner-outfield spot?

Given every deal includes some sort of risk, it would certainly be more comfortable to make this kind of gamble on Pollock as opposed to providing the multiyear deal he's seeking. The hesitance in making Pollock a multiyear offer is rooted in the fact he has not played more than 113 games during any of the three seasons that have followed his down-ballot 2015 season.
But a player in this position also certainly has reason to seek the insurance provided by a multiyear deal.
