Bogaerts got a bump

[Ding Dong Johnson]

6/132 extension

6/132 extension

 

Not surprised.

 

That takes the biggest position player free agent off the board for 2020. Probably the only guy the Cubs would have been remotely interested.

 

I suppose Puig could have a big enough year to gather some interest and Ozuna could have a bounce back year. Although it's just as likely that Ozuna continues to show that 2017 was a fluke and Puig burns down a large section of Cincinnati or something.

 

Maybe J.D. Martinez has another monster year and ops out, although given the market recently, that would be really, really ballsy on his part considering he'd still be guaranteed $62-ish million through his age 34 year.

 

After that, we're left with Mad Bum, Betances, and...

 

...and I'd still not be surprised if Betances were extended before he ever hits the open market.

Rendon is still out there, he’d be an awesome add. Either at 2B or 3B and move KB to the OF. I doubt we have the money for him but one can dream.

Also Gerrit Cole. I forgot about him.
