What they need to do is figure out their centerfield situation and second base. I thought I read they might extend Walker. But nonetheless. 3rd base is also a position of need.
You make room for Cespedes. He is their only bat. Grandy can be a 4th outfielder in his last year. Conforto in CF where he's been playing in AAA, Bruce in RF. Conforto to RF full time in 2018 when Bruce and Grandy are both gone.

I don't see them extending Walker given the amount of time he's missed with his back injury, but it'll look bad if they don't keep him considering they traded Dilson goddamn Herrera. As for 3B, Reyes has a league minimum option for next year since Colorado is paying his regular salary. He'll be back and be the insurance policy at 3B for when Wright inevitably gets hurt again.
