Who do you want added (inc payroll)?

I feel like we already have 1B/DH covered with Candellario, who is my bounce-back candidate for next season.  Plus we have Steer, who actually plays pretty good at 1B. Get an OF bat and get off this idea of Steer in LF frequently. Aaaaaaand we have CES hopefully coming back ready to earn a spot as well. We have options there.

I dunno, I really don't care for Candelario.

Alonso is better than Candelario as a hitter in just about every way.

Candelario Career (2024):
BA: .240 (.225)
OBP: .318 (.279)
OPS: .735 (.707)
OPS+: 100 (90)

Alonso Career (2024):
BA: .249 (.240)

OBP: .339 (.329)
OPS: .854 (.788)
OPS+: 134 (123)

We cannot rely on Candelario to bounce back because there really isn't much to bounce back to.
