A few of these players probably aren't crucial, but a few are very intriguing.
Grisham is coming off the best season of his career.
Goldschmidt is a possible future Hall of Famer, old now but still an impressive presence.
Weaver and Williams have both been great relievers at various points in their careers, but they aren't necessarily at that level right now.
