I like the defense and power, only thing is he's struggled to stay healthy. O'Neill had an awesome 2021, but that season feels like a complete outlier (rode a .366 BABIP). It only cost them Victor Santos and Nick Robertson, the latter becoming expendable after the Verdugo trade anyway.

Glasnow is excellent, when healthy. Unfortunately that's not too often.

A lot of folks thinking this means they're out on Yamamoto. I am not one of those people.

I don't think they're out, but I do feel like it raises the chances of him going elsewhere.

As stupid as the policy is, Verdugo looks much better shaved.
