Mike Trout, Angels OF, owed $250 mms., 32, 2nd coming of Mickey Mantle
Corbin Bernes, 3x All Star, Cy Young, Brewers, top of rotation ace
Spencer Steer, Cincy UT INF, 25, Cincy needs pitching prospects

BTW, Zaidi says center field will be a priority, same with depth at shortstop. Bellinger is the CF prize, Bader, Taylor, Kiermaier best remaining gloves. NY Post says Giants want an upgrade at 3B. Chapman?
