1) it wouldn't have created such a shake up in the outfield and we wouldn't have had to trade away Shelby Miller (although he didn't do so hot anyway) and Tyrell Jenkins (who didn't amount to much) just to get Jason Heyward for one year
2) Might had been able to keep Marcell Ozuna who hit .338 in the shortened 2020 season (when healthy) and have the duo of Ozuna and Taveras, plus alongside other Dominican players like A Reyes and C Martinez
3) Could have locked Taveras up long term for a decent amount
They'd have a:
30 year old Ozuna
29 year old Taveras
1. Tommy Edman 2B
2. Paul Goldschmidt 1B
3. Nolan Arenadao 3B
4. Paul Dejong SS
5. Marcell Ozuna LF
6. Oscar Taveras CF
7. Yadier Molina C
8. Dylan Carlson RF
9. Pitcher
Didn't realize Oscar Taveras's son was named Oscar Yadier Taveras
