They're not screwing themselves over in the long term and that's the key - those moves terrify me, and they're not doing that. I don't think anyone fully knows their full play here, but that signing was something I didn't see coming at all.

I don't see any downside here. He played well, good in the room, and the same criteria you used to sign him last year applies this year, to fill a variety of on and off field roles,...you'd be looking for a similar vet this offseason to replace him as that vet anyways.
I don't think this shuts the door on any outfield changes and brings some stability and continuity.
