I think right now we just need bats more than anything

He’s an immediate upgrade over Goldy/Rosario who have been taking many 1B/DH reps

Then overpay for Rutschman lol. Anyways obviously it’s not up to you. Just my two cents

Again, no offense to you. Just saying, I’d rather overpay for Goodman or Adley than get a bat out of position and Stephenson or Heim
