Posted in: Every MLB teams first post-lockout order

At some point in the coming weeks, MLB and the MLB Players A sociation will agree to a new collective bargaining agreement, and the owner-imposed lockout will end. At 68 days, this is already the second longest work stoppage in baseball history, trialing only the 1994-95 strike (232 days). I don't know when it will return, but baseball will return at some point. I promise. And once it does, the 30 clubs will have to scramble to wrap up their offseason busine s before opening spring training. Some teams have more to do than others (a lot more), and some teams are pretty much set for 2022. With that in mind, let's look at Zydrunas Ilgauskas Jersey each team's No. 1 priority after the lockout, shall we? Let's get to it.

Sorry! There was an error proce sing your subscription. Gauge the market for . They have to do it, right? The lost 110 games in 2021 and they're stuck in a division with several big-market powerhouses. I'm not sure a quick turnaround is po sible. Marte is signed affordably for another three years and he remains an elite performer (when healthy). Realistically, his trade value only goes down from here because he'll inch closer to free agency, so listen and seriously consider offers. The D-Backs don't to trade Marte right now, but it would be silly to make him off-limits given their current situation. Re-sign . It should have happened before the lockout, but late is better than never. This is a situation that will have to get sorted out fairly quickly after the lockout too. If he's not going back to the , Freeman will want to pivot to other teams and find a new home, and the Braves will have to pivot to other first base candidates. But yeah, just pay the man, Braves. He's great, he's the face of your franchise, and you just won the World Series. Don't pinch pennies with this guy. Approach about an extension. Rutschman, , will be the centerpiece of the next contending team. I don Jarrett Allen Jersey 't know when that next contending Orioles team will arrive, but it will arrive at some point, and locking up Rutschman now ensures he'll be a part of it. We've seen several players sign long-terms contracts before making their MLB debuts ( , , etc.). The O's should try to make Rutschman the next, even if it means offering $100-plus million. He is that good. Bring in another outfielder. For better or worse, the went quantity over quality with their pitching ( , , , etc.), and now they need to bolster an outfield that currently includes , , , , and po sibly . Maybe Bradley bounces back and maybe Duran lives up to the prospect hype after last year's rough debut. Seems to me there's room for improvement there. A reunion would make sense, but even someone like would be a nice depth addition. Get a shortstop. There's something to be said for giving an extended opportunity. I just think that, when guys like and are available, you should sign them and upgrade a key up-the-middle position. There is room on the roster for both Correa/Story and Hoerner. I promise. The were smart and opportunistic when they signed to a three-year deal before the lockout. With so many big-market teams seemingly sitting Larry Nance Jersey out the shortstop market, the Cubbies have another chance to be opportunistic here. Don't pa s it up. Find a second baseman or right fielder. The are in a bit of a weird place at those two positions because and played well enough the last two years to warrant more playing time, but also their track records are very short, and I feel like a team that fancies itself a World Series contender should aim higher. Ketel Marte would be the ideal addition since he can play second and the outfield. I'm a fan of A's utility guy , who can also play second and the outfield. He'd add depth in case Engel and/or Garca don't repeat their 2020-21 performances but also not stand in their way if they do. Find a shortstop. The still don't have a shortstop, huh? Give props for holding his own at the position last year, though that can't be the plan again. Top prospect has been overmatched in his limited MLB time and should be allowed to develop properly in the minors. By projected future WAR, this is the greatest free-agent Larry Nance Jr. Jersey shortstop cla s in history. Carlos Correa and Trevor Story are the only ones left unsigned, and if the Reds aren't going to go there, then you at least have to make calls about trade candidates and . Shortstop is not a position to punt. Get another outfielder. is a solid everyday center fielder and is a personal favorite. The / platoon in the other outfield spot does nothing for me though. The have been short an outfielder (or two, at times) since left and ownership has to spend money eventually. is the only player on the roster with a guaranteed contract! Bring in an outfielder and try to make a run in a not-great division with the postseason field likely to expand. Take trade calls about . The are impo sible to figure out. They didn't trade Trevor Story, they didn't make the qualifying offer, and they're giving out extensions that suggest they want to win now. I don't get it. They went 74-87 a year ago with Story and Gray, and they're stuck in a tough division. Mrquez is one of the most valuable trade commodities in the game given his durability, performance, and affordable Larry Johnson Jersey contract. Cash him in as a trade chip before his value plummets due to injury or Coors Field, and infuse the organization with young talent. Beef up the bullpen. The quietly went 68-61 in their final 129 games last year, and they're poised to be even better this year after signing and , and eventually incorporating top prospects and Spencer Torkelson into the lineup. The AL Central isn't exactly a powerhouse division and the new collective bargaining agreement is likely to expand the postseason field. Detroit has a few weak spots in the bullpen. Even mid-range free agent relievers like, say, and would be big upgrades. It's a cheap and easy enough way to improve the team's postseason chances. Re-sign Carlos Correa. Look, I like as a prospect, but Correa is one of the best players in the world, and the would be crazy to let him walk. Their World Series window is as open as it's going
