I agree with everything OP pretty much said. To me there are a few core things I'd like to change:
- get a legit ace to move your depth down one
- see if a legit closer is out there, if not a guy who can supplement Hoffman when he isn't sharp. Hoffman should be a set up guy
- sign Bo as as second baseman
- sign and move Clement to 3B
- keep Barger at RF
- upgrade on Lukes in LF and keep him as a platoon guy
Farewell to:
Sherzer (age), Bieber (inconsistent but will likely get a premium for mediocre stuff), Bassitt (likely to be paid as a starter somewhere else), France, IKF
Trade:
Berrios, any of the lower end relievers, Heinemen, Straw, Schneider, Loperfido
