Yes, spend those prospects extravagantly for excellent young talent. And while they’re at it, bundle a couple with Ellsbury and trade them for a starter who can help but is on a bloated contract. Or bundle Ellsbury with a couple lower level prospects and eat all but 3-5 million annually. They’d get some payroll relief while the total amount of outfield salary for Judge, Gardner, Hicks, Frazier and Ellbury’s remaining contract would not be an unreasonable number.
Really interesting podcast and predictions about how Ohtani will be used.
