I think a guy like Jose Ramirez, for example, might become available. He's no Soto/Ohtani but he is a darn good player. In the absense of getting a superstar player, build a team full a good players.
I like Passan but this has a certain Heyman "duh" feel to it. Might be easier to say, "Yamamota is only interested in the teams with the most money to spend."
You know what else would be stupid? If the GM takes a QB he is not enamored with just to appease a fan base who is starving for a star QB. I want Poles to draft Williams/Maye because he wants to, not because he has to.
