A huge get.
Still need to add another bat preferably a lefty power bat. Also need at least one more starter.

If he's the 4th OF, I have no problem with it at all. To keep him as an everyday player, I do have a problem as he's not ideal to get on base. Once he's on base, with the extra focus on the pitch clock and larger bases this year he could be good to steal a bunch. But again, depends on his role. I do think they're aiming for Springer to transition to a corner OFer, and it scares me if he's an everyday player (though he should be better in the "new MLB").
