Free agency is full of old players, none of which are really interesting to us. There is, however, a 25-year-old, 45-rated 3B named David Clemons. He's been tearing up AAA, with a 129 wRC+ and 17 HR last season, with decent ratings to back it up. He wants a major league deal, and we generate our random number between 2-8; it's a 5, which allows us to make the offer.

We sim ahead to the following Monday and make an offer to another 45-rated bat, 27-year-old OF Juan Montalvo. He makes a ton of contact, and while it's a very, very small sample size, did really well in 50 PA last season.

Both players are offered one year guarantees with a team option for a second season, and both sign by the middle of December, and that is the extent we can play in free agency. We do add a couple relievers in the Rule-5 draft to round out the roster, and I may dabble in some additional players who are rated 40 or less (as they don't cost us any of our available moves) but Clemons and Montalvo are the big additions, relatively speaking.

We'll hang on to our trades into the season, and probably plan on carrying one over into next offseason.
