If Javy and Starlin wound up being dealt, it'd make sense. I mean you can work your way to an offseason where Zobrist fits in, you just kinda have to jump through some hoops to do it. If Zobrist were still available and other FA targets get snapped up then it's potentially a good option, but it's pretty down the list of contingencies for me. i'd also worry that signing zobrist early would lead to a welington castillo situation where it becomes obvious they have to make a trade and end up losing most of their leverage.
