He just made it to AA.If it were my call, I would invest in a starter and a catcher this coming offseason, specifically Bauer and Realmuto; give Kikuchi, Long, and Crawford another year to prove themselves, and if all doesn’t go well, look for a SS, another starter, and try to bring in Yamada from Japan (he’ll qualify for international free agency in 2022) the following offseason.
