Free Agent Signings:
1B Mark Reynolds (DH) 1 yr 2 million
(Suffered a career ending setback)
LF Franklin Gutierrez (DH) 1 yr minimum salary (507k)
Mike Dunn LHP 2 yr 2.5 million
Stephen Strasburg 4 yrs 30 million (120 million total) lost 2nd round pick
This is the bonafide ace that we need, Raisel Iglesias is not a #1 starter and with 19 wins Strasburg was our free agent splurge in this off season
Trades:
25 yr old Jon RHP Moscot (1.5*) for 33 yr old LHH 1B John Jaso (3*)
Reason:
We need a first baseman, and Jaso can fill that void that Votto left, the left handed stick of Jaso had a plus season with the Pirates, swatting 15 homers and batting .288.
Jon Moscot was expendable with Brandon Finnegan and Robert Stephenson fighting for a rotation spot.
Traded 35 yr old Brandon Phillips (1*) to the San Francisco Giants for 33 yr old Francisco Liriano (4*)
With this, Wilmer Difo will get a platoon call at 2B with Jose Peraza going against lefties.
Reason:
Gets rid of Phillips as a liability, and adds to the rotation we are building and gets a lefty into the starting rotation as previously it was a packed righty house, this also lets Difo get a call and the ability to perform at a higher level.

SS Brendan Rodgers of the Colorado Rockies is the #1 prospect
