David Lesky couldn’t wait til Spring Training to do a roster projection, including this scenario for the infield:
What They Could Do: I wouldn’t worry about first, second or shortstop at this point. The play, if, they were going to make it, was to go after someone like Dansby Swanson and move Witt to third, but they weren’t going to do that. So let Witt play shortstop knowing you’ve got capable defenders in Lopez and Mondesi with him. That means you look to third base if you’re wanting to upgrade.
