But where do you put them all? If they get Hosmer, do they move Seager to 2b to make room for Machado at SS and Turner at 3b? Then when Turner's contract expires move Seager again? Or move Machado back to 3b?
I guess they could just swallow 1/2 of Turner's deal and move him outright - wouldn't be hard for them.
I just can't believe they're able to spend like this with the debt service that came on a
billion dollar purchase price. They're still blowing teams out of the water in an environment where teams like the Cardinals have had their teams paid for for years. It's crazy.
And it's why Cards fans should be pretty disappointed if/when DeWitt decides to sell the team. When the folks that buy it also have to factor in the tens of millions they're spending every year for the right to own it, that's coming straight from their baseball ops budget.
