Baez is a massive defensive upgrade over Jeff McNeil and JD Davis, and once Lindor returns, it means those 2 guys can platoon which is probably a good way to maximize both of them, and keep only one of them on the field at any given time. He'll hit homeruns, but he strikes out so fucking much that it will undoubtedly be infuriating. I'm fine with it, although I would have preferred either of Bryant or Story.
I can't figure out why the Rockies kept Story. There's zero chance of him to resign with Colorado. So they throw a qualifying offer at him that his agent will get a belly laugh over and he will go elsewhere and the Rox will get a compensatory pick at the end of the '22 1st round. Whee. There's been some decent picks in that area, Ke'Bryan Hayes, Jack Flaherty but a lot more misses.
Not that the Rockies are going anywhere. There's going to be a lot of lousy teams next year. Cubs, Nats, Twins, Rockies, Diamondbacks, Orioles (sorry Nut, couple more years), Rangers, Pirates.
