Wow, what a day to sleep in.
Quick thoughts-
While missing out on Freeman and Schwarber is a small letdown, this is arguably the smarter decision anyhow. Hogland the only important piece going back and we are contending right now, so that doesn’t bother me.
Chapman fills glaring need (as the stat above proves) and Ryu gives up a ton of balls to 3B.
Another power bat to the lineup (don’t like the K’s but I can see past that).
This allows Vlad to stay at 1B and not mess with what he’s got going on.
Gives them flexibility to make another huge move as money and prospect capital are still there.
I’d grade this a B+ with potential to turn in to an A+
