Happy to replace castro with zobrist, but I'm very confused by the signing. I get it in that it gives you flexibility on the field and that's exactly the kind of bat they need in the lineup and whatnot but it really goes against the MO of the braintrust to sign a 35 year old to a multi year deal that includes a no trade clause. They still need a CF unless they honestly think Javy Baez can play there. Took a big gamble that any issues zobrist had last year were injury related and that a 35 year old can pick up where he left off.
