Of course, there were other holes that needed fixing and one has been partially fixed with the addition of Curtis Granderson. With approximately $15 million left for 2018, how many more holes are there actually left to fill?
I went into the off-season thinking that there were the following holes that needed to be addressed by the front-office:
- Middle infield depth
- Two outfielders
- 5th starter
- Backup Catcher
- Bullpen Arms (preferably a left-hander)
As mentioned above, middle-infield depth has been solved with Diaz and Solarte. They have half solved the need for two outfielders with the addition of Granderson, who makes a perfect platoon mate with Steve Pearce.
