I do this because I have zero 1B depth and no real FA option after Yuli and my cap is to close to put all my money into him. This gives me a lot more flexibility and I have some SP on my roster so I can deal a piece. I also plan on signing some depth.

confirms.  This deal in conjunction with my deal with likely gives me an upgrade at the plate without losing anything in 2022 on the mound.  I was initially a bit concerned whether Kapriellan would be in the rotation in all year, but since they have already traded Bassitt and likely at least one more rotation arm, his spot seems solidified.  I do think Voit likely still gets plenty of at bats in New York or possibly gets moved and ends up with a full time spot somewhere, but the overall workings of both deals likely gave me a slight upgrade both at the plate and on the mound in 2022. Thanks @STLBlues91 and good luck!
