To me the biggest thing is to sign Bo again. It's super important to me (at the right price/term, of course). Second is getting a high end starter. I can see a bit of a pull back from Gausman as he ages, so getting a legit ace will be needed. Nice to have and probably easier to do would be to get a reliever/closer.
Guys like Tucker are great and all, but where does he fit? Both Springer and Santander are destined for DH playing time with one playing OF. I can't see them dealing Barger (or does he move to 3rd)? What happens to Clement? I like the idea of adding another core piece like Tucker instead of relying on split matchups but I just can't see it with a limited budget unless they can't sign Bo. Even before Bo got injured I thought he'd make a good 2nd baseman. Gotta hope they sign him.
