"24. Giants
Top free agents: 1B Wilmer Flores, 1B Dominic Smith, SP Justin Verlander
Biggest needs: Starting rotation, bullpen, outfield, second base, backup catcher
Hiring Tony Vitello was certainly a big swing in the skipper’s spot, but no matter how quickly he adapts to the role, he’s going to need a talent boost to contend. To start with, Logan Webb and Robbie Ray are strong atop the rotation, and you’ll probably have Landon Roupp in there after that, and then the rotation has a ton of options and no actual solutions. That absolutely has to be improved, as does a bullpen that was mostly sold at the Deadline, and there’s a corner outfield spot up for grabs, too. The Giants need to make some big moves to avoid a fifth straight season hanging around the .500 mark. "

Which is more awkward: calling 7th worst roster as “24th best roster”, or listing almost all positions for “biggest needs”?
The irony of us needing a RF but then actively saying “oh no no Kyle Tucker is too expensive” is so stupid. Just say you don’t want to spend to win Front office and stop lying about trying to improve or being in on people
Such a BS list. Orioles are top 10 and they finished last in their division. We were better than the Dbacks and the Padres aren’t much better than us after losing their top 2 SPs (and Darvish getting TJ).
