Perhaps the deepest hitting position in the 2018 Free Agent market 3B offers not one but four quality options.
Here are the players"
3B Manny Machado- 2017 In what was considered a down year Mr.Machado hit 33 home runs and batted a respectable .260. Still only 25 he's gonna get paid.
3B Mike Moustakas- Affectionately called "moose" had perhaps his best year in 2017 hitting 38 sneaky home runs. That kind of power at a inf position he is also going to get paid.
3B Josh Donaldson- At this point in his career after 4 straight seasons of hitting atleast 29 hrs Donaldson is as solid as they come.
3B Justin Turner- The Ginger Viking after hitting .322 and clubbing 21 home runs is poised to get that $.
Musical chairs with $$$
There are 4 quality 3b options in Free Agency you might think hey thats a lot but there are atleast 6 teams in need of a 3b.
TWINS- Its pretty obvious he is saving his $ to bring back Machado only question is how far is he willing to go?
Nationals- The 7...8 time reigning champ is also in the market for a 3b. Will he bring back Turner? or will he go after less bearded options?
Mets- Fancy themselves as a contender and if they are serious they will need to upgrade by adding 1 of these four. He could add any of them.
Dodgers- New $ new dodgers. Has put together a nice roster is short order a quality 3b could go a long way in improving their playoff chances.
Cardinals- Unless they are committed to Urshela they are gonna need to sign one of these guys.
Rangers- 3B might be the last piece to the rangers puzzle.
Predictions
Machado- TWINS Nats drive the price up
Moustakas- Dodgers
Donaldson- Nats Mets/Nats war over Ginger viking Bryan "outsmarts" jack
Turner- Mets see above
Cards/Rangers lose 3B musical chairs
