It appears that Yaz, Peterson and, yes, Longoria are also strong candidates to return.  Andrew Baggerly wrote about Longoria this morning in The Athletic.  In essence, it would cost SF a net of $8 million to bring him back.  The expectation is that he would play 3B and DH on a “Posey” schedule (roughly 2 games in the lineup followed by a day off).  In this scenario, Villar would be the alternate starter at 3B.

So Flores, Yaz, Peterson, Longoria, Crawford, DeSclefani, Wood, Cobb and LaStella are coming back.  I'm assuming Rodon will choose not to return for a piddly $22 mms.

Of the remainder, who returns?

I think the following return: Bart, Estrada, J.D. Davis, Slater, Casali, Gonzalez, Villar, Vosler, Brinson, Doval, Rogers, Brebbia, Garcia, Long, Young, Hjelle, Alexander, Szapucki, Dean, 
 
I think the following are gone: Pederson, Rodon, Wade, Wynns, Littell, Llovera, Alvarez, Santos, Castro, Walton, Marte, Belt

Bart. Estrada. Flores.  Wade.  Davis, Brebbia, Doval, Longoria, Crawford, Webb, Wood, DeSclafani, Cobb, Slater, Yaz, Villar, Gonzalez, Alexander, Brinson. Rogers. 

Llovera is, I think, out for ‘23. Otherwise, I’d add him.  Rodon will test FA unless the Giants offer him about $120 million over 5.  And they won’t do that.  They have a better shot at Pederson, in part cause he’s local.  But I see him going to a contender.
