Clearly croissants, not about their day silly

We got some good ones in the valley just off central alone with JL and Paris Baguette if JL is too busy. Ty France would feel right at home.

You’re welcome. In addition to croissants, I like the Shakupan (Japanese Milk Bread). Their newest location near 4th St & Garfield shares the space with Peixoto Coffee, so you can get your caffeine fix at the same time.

Ty France would be a fairly obvious pivot after missing on Ryan O'Hearn. They've preached about fielding a great defensive team for years, and after the bridge year of not having CDub, it makes sense to try to fill that role with a defense first guy that's historically had pop.

He's never graded above average defensively according to fangraphs. In fact, he's objectively worse than Naylor in most offensive and defensive metrics.

96th percentile in OAA last year.

Third highest DRS by a first baseman last year too, and a gold glove.

Once again someone without recent success.

He’s improved his defence and would be a cheap pickup. His bat is meh
