I’d be happy with Bader 2/$20M and Giolito 2/$30M to round out the offseason. Addresses two big holes and doesn’t block anyone in the near term. Both could also be future trade pieces if they perform well.

I’d still like a leverage reliever as well, though the market is very picked over.

Seranthony Dominguez. Spend whatever of that $20M you have to spend to get him. Very difficult sell to get him here but he can be with a contender mid-season

Forgot about him, he would be intriguing.

Contract the franchise imo

Nah, just sell to Ishbia now and let him build a new stadium at the 78.  There's a ton of potential for this franchise that's being wasted under Jerry Reinsdorf.

I don't understand why Jerry wants to be the managing partner if he can't afford to play the game.  Estate taxes are not driven by the title you have.  Taxes are driven by the value of the holding at his time of death.  

Ego/pride.  As long as he's healthy, he doesn't want to give up being the guy in charge.   It's probably why Ishbia doesn't get controlling option to buy the team until Jerry's 98 years old.
