Excellent pickup, really stellar work, Mr. Posey. I hope there's a former St. Mary's pitcher on your Santa list...

Next steps, hopefully:

1. Shortstop. I prefer Adames over Kim, but I think the Braves will get there first.
2. Addition to the rotation (somewhere from #2 to #4). Probably not Sasaki, Burnes or Fried, unless Posey decides to blow it out for St. Mary's Burnes. Maybe Eovaldi, Flaherty, Heaney or Manaea 2.0. Maybe Trevor WIlliams. BTW, if you get a chance to watch Manaea pitch to Ohtani in the playoffs, it's a treat. Ohtani couldn't touch his slider. Personally, I would be happy with Birdsong/Roupp/Beck/Whisenhunt/Black. Preferably not Verlander, Scherzer, Buehler, Bieber, Sandoval, Cobb 2.0, Soroka.
3. Another outfielder. I think Boston's Tyler O'Neill would be a great fit. Righty, 2x gold glove, 132 OPS+ 31 HRs, will be 30, played every OF spot (not much CF, I know). BTW, I think Pederson goes to Cincy. He hit 23 HRs in 367 ABs last year.

O'Neill got 3 years, $49.5 million from the Orioles. Darn it.

I suspect next signing will be a pitcher.
