Now that the smoke has cleared, we can see pretty clearly that things have changed. Let’s consider what has happened or likely will happen:
- Craig Kimbrel is gone (YAY);
- Justin Turner’s option was not picked up;
- Andrew Heaney is likely gone;
- David Price allegedly retired;
- Danny Duffy is likely gone;
- Jimmy Nelson is likely gone;
- Blake Treinen is not a factor in 2023;
- Chris Martin is on the market and could be re-signed or gone;
- Tommy Kahnle is on the market and could be re-signed or gone; and
- The great Clayton Kershaw will be back for one more year.
