Christian Walker is not a Nat. He's an Astro. 3/60. It's a bit of an overpay by year but the idea of getting out of the contract in 3 years for a player his age is appealing. Better this than a 4/64 or 5/65, imo.
With Walker out that leaves three 1B that would likely next year be an obvious upgrade. Pete Alonso, Carlos Santana, and Paul Goldschmidt. The latter two are older so a 1-2 year deal might be possible. I prefer Santana - a slick fielder and more likely to take the shorter deal. There are other middling 1B (Conor Joe! Justin Turner!) but rather than that I'd have them sign like Joc Pederson to DH or something
Time keeps moving on.
