Injuries have ravaged the pitching staff and created a desperate need to acquire one or two starting pitchers. Yet, so many rumors have focused on first base, which is not as critical a need.
When has Jim Crane ever set a budget? Never. If he gets the opportunity to get Guerrero and a top shelf pitcher, he will. Guerrero is 25 yo and he'll hold down 1st for the next 10 years. He makes too much money off the post season not to pick up a 1st baseman and a starting pitcher. I think he'll also extend Bregman just like Altuve.
