GM Jim Roberts is going for broke. Literally.
The Crawdads today announced 4 signings for a total cost to the franchise of over $100M.
First, OF Jamie Angwin - who at 32 years old has never been to an All Star Game - signed the richest FA deal yet. 6 years, 83M. Although to be fair, its essentially a 4 year 60M deal as those last 2 years are team options. New Orleans got mesmirzed by the 6.3 WAR last season, a number that is likely an anomaly. Still - new orleans needed some help in the OF and a big bat, and Angwin is a 30-30 guy who checks all the boxes they were looking for.
Next, 2B Thomas Jefferson signed a 4 year 17M deal, which again is probably closer to a 2 year 8M deal with the team options at the end. Jefferson immediatly helps cement the middle IF which is in desperate need of some help.
And then 2 IFAs - $7M for SP Alberto Gonzalez and his 8/9/8 ratings and 5 pitches with a 9/8/8/8/7 potential - if he can develop he should be a very solid top of the rotation starter.
And $5M for CF Pepe Villalobos - although the Nicoraguan is probably better suited for a corner OF position. He has speed and power, but definitely needs to sure up his defense to get to where he needs to be.

Gonzalez’s 45 POT rating is laughably low. One of the worst POT rating calculations I’ve seen.

Oddly, as a reliever he is only a 40!
