Kris Bryant to the Rockies for 7 years $182 million. Interesting they wouldn’t lock up Arenado at 3B yet gave Bryant $182 million about a year later.
Do the Dodgers have a projected top 10 lineup on paper in MLB history ever?
Mookie Betts
Trea Turner
Justin Turner
Freddie Freeman
Max Muncy
Will Smith
Chris Taylor
Cody Bellinger
A.J. Pollock
No doubt this is a potent lineup but the defending champs have a pretty potent lineup of their own...
Ronald Acuna Jr
Ozzie Albies
Marcell Ozuna
Matt Olson
Adam Duvall
Austin Riley
Eddie Rosario
Dansby Swanson
Travis d'Arnauld
Acuna Jr is one of the best young talents in the game, Albies is one of the best hitting 2nd basemen in the game, Ozuna was said to be hammering it in the Dominican league, Olson is coming into his prime and had a better year than Freddie statistically last year, Duvall led the NL in RBI's last year, Riley is a potential MVP candidate if he continues to improve, and the last 3 are all solid hitters to be that low in the lineup.
