After flaming out quickly in the wild card game, Brooklyn is looking to crack the ceiling to the "real" playoffs next year. I could run my lineup as is pretty well, but upgrades at a few spots are always welcome.
Shopping:
CJ Cron is there for steady power at 1B
You want a second baseman? I've got a second baseman. Schoop (464 PA, .777 OPS) Dietrich (305/.790) Ryan McMahon (539/.779) are a crowd.
You want young guys with steady jobs? Renato Nunez (599/.771) and McMahon are useful parts for me, but likely worth more to someone else
Adam Engel - defensive CF wiz who can't hit, but not as bad as you might think (.687 OPS)
Teoscar Hernandez (464/.778) and Stephen Piscotty (393/.721) are getting squeezed out by rookies
I still love Mike Foltynewicz, he finished very strong but perhaps he can bounce back on your roster instead of mine.
Same deal for Nathan Eovaldi, but perhaps I'm more appreciative of the guy than in love with him
Cash / Picks / Prospects all available. (No, not Rutschman)
Needs:
Pitching -
I have enough starts to cover, but a good #2/3 guy to push some of the iffier starts off the schedule would be great
The bullpen is thin - great relievers definitely valued. As Oliver Perez showed, sometimes you just have to have that shutdown guy in a key spot
Hitting -
Shortstop upgrade over Segura either offensively/defensively or ideally both.
Catcher - someone with ~250 PA to fill in for one year
