Welcome to the way-way-too-early All-Stars. We're about six months out from the All-Star Game at Globe Life Field in Arlington and, well, we have some time on our hands to dig into some potential rosters.
CHICAGO — The Cubs finalized a deal with Japanese lefty Shota Imanaga on Wednesday, agreeing to a four-year, $53 million contract, sources familiar with the situation told ESPN.
What do we need to spice up the rest of this offseason? More out-of-nowhere transactions like the Chris Sale-for-Vaughn Grissom trade between the Red Sox and Braves. So maybe we can hope for Blake Snell to the Pittsburgh Pirates or Jordan Montgomery signing with the Cincinnati Reds or Julio Rodriguez going to the Los Angeles Dodgers in a blockbuster deal. (Just kidding, Mariners fans.)
When Yoshinobu Yamamoto signed a 12-year, $325 million deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers — after the team had already added Shohei Ohtani on a 10-year, $700 million contract — L.A. ended up with the two biggest fish in the free agent market. A number of teams had one or both of those new Dodgers at the top of their target list. What should those front offices do now?
A few hours after my free agency projections go up at the start of the MLB offseason, I generally want to move at least a few names or change a few predictions.

Now I'll pick the three players from this free agent market in whom I'd be most comfortable investing from a team's perspective — and the three I'd stay away from, given what I think their contracts will look like.
Aaron Nola is staying in Philadelphia, after all.
