1 holiday wish for all 30 MLB teams

It’s the holiday season, and it’s not too late for gifts. (I would like a robot butler. Thank you.) There’s no actual need for MLB teams to rush to get what they want by the holiday; frankly, considering how slowly things are going so far, it’s obvious no one’s in

I think they are spot on in most cases. The Yankees need to bring LeMahieu back.

Red Sox certainly need SP help...

SP help, outfield depth and maybe a stopgap 2nd baseman until Downs is ready.

In regards to 2nd base, who is even available?

Bloom to get fired.

I'd love Kolten Wong or Cesar Hernandez on a one-year deal. Both have good OBP skills, though Wong is one of the best defensive 2nd basemen right now.

Wong isn't that skillful average/power wise, correct? But his defense is tremendous

A new owner for the Indians.

Second base historically isn't an offensive position, especially when it comes to hitting for power. His average has fluctuated, but he still has a career .333 OBP (which is more important than average) and he had a .361 OBP in 2019 and .376 OBP in 2017. He had a .350 OBP in 2020. The Red Sox collective second basemen had a slugging percentage 37 points lower than Wong's OBP. That would represent a pretty significant offensive upgrade even if Wong's stats aren't particularly impressive. That position was an absolute black hole for us.

Again, we're just looking for someone until Downs is ready.
