There’s an article too, but this is the gist of it.
My prediction is that we sign Belli to 5yr/155 Mil but I’m not Stearns lol
Happy monday. This week can’t be worse than last, right?
Bellinger and Laureano make the most sense for us. Bellinger gives us positional flexibility in positions we need to fill. Laureano would be a great cheaper (assets) pickup, also in an area we need to fill.
