Hard wrap my head around this one.
On one hand Cespedes is an exciting player with power, speed, and defensive ability, and now might have been a good "sell high" time for Porcello, given its unclear whether he'd ever replicate the season he had.
On the other hand some of Yoenis's offensive statistics are underwhelming and his power bat might not play well at Commerica, and Porcello was our most consistent year long pitcher last year outside of Scherzer, who is also on his way out.
I think our defense should be greatly improved next season with Gose, Cespedes, and Iglesius joining the ranks of our everyday players. Our offense should be great too.
For the first time in a long time we have a big fat question mark on our starting rotation though. We are relying on a couple of comback seasons from Sanchez and Verlander, and we need Simon and Greene to prove that the first half of last year wasn't a fluke.
