This is fantastic news - great to see an A list FA want to come to Toronto. CF is such an important position and was arguably the weakest link with respect to the fielding positions.
They still need another quality starter if they have aspirations of being competitive though. I am not going to get my hopes up too high until that happens.
I also think the overall lineup is better if they move Guerrero back to 3rd. He has clearly taken his conditioning seriously (that pic is amazing), and he isn't a terrible fielder. Having him at 3rd opens 1st for Tellez.
CF Springer R
2B Biggio L
SS Bichette R
DH Hernandez R
3B Guerrero R
RF Brantley L
LF Gurriel R
1B Tellez L
C Catcher R
(maybe switch Brantley and Tellez)
That is definitely a contender lineup. And I think the BP is solid. But you have nothing if you don't have starting pitching. One more quality guy, please.
