Third base was an obvious hole heading into the offseason, and has been a hole ever since Anthony Rendon left. With the Carter Kieboom experiment failing, and the stop gap veterans they brought in being ineffective, with the exception of Jeimer Candelario. However, I am optimistic about the pickup of Paul Dejong.
Yes, it is another bargain bin signing, with the 31 year old signing a one-year $1 million deal. However, I think this will be a better investment than the deal they signed Nick Senzel to last year. With Senzel now playing in Mexico, that is an admittedly low bar to clear.
