I don’t think it’s a slam dunk compared to what we ended up with.
IKF/KK/Yariel are about 25 mil AAV and Chapman and Pham are probably going to sign for similar? We’ll see. I’m not even factoring in Turner but he signed late as is.
Chapman is about a win better than IKF but KK is a little better than Pham according to Steamer and about a win better according to Zips. We’ll see what Yariel ends up being but if he can stick in the rotation that would help.
In the ultimate dream scenario, Atkins pounces on the best offers he gets for Espinal/Biggio/Yimi etc. early in the offseason. He waits on IKF, KK and Yariel until their prices come down and then and we end up signing all of the above at the lower rates in addition to a couple of other guys. Would have loved to have seen the fan reaction to waiting until February to do anything though.
