As the infield market was predominantly focused around big money shortstops (Marcus Siemen, Cory Seager, Javier Baez, Trevor Story and Carlos Correa) prior to the lockout on December 2, NL MVP Kris Bryant (2016) continues to fly under the radar as a savvy veteran who can be plugged into any lineup and find a successful way to produce on a daily basis. When looking at the remaining free agent class in positions that Bryant can fill, it becomes apparent there is a steep drop off of talent at a reasonable age that is worthy of a long term contract.
