Story is above average (104 OPS+/excellent fielding). But he comes with other questions.Aren't many things that need addressing? They do not have an above average player at every position. Wong, Story, whoever plays 2B, LF are not above average or are rookies so they haven't proven anything at the major league level yet. Casas has not proven he can stay on the field consistently so that is an issue. They don't have a lot of power in the lineup.
And as far as rookies go, at some point, the FO has to decide if they think a rookie is going to be a contributor. (It seems like they have so decided). Getting a Bregman because that rookie hasn't contributed *yet* seems short-sighted at best. Otherwise, your analysis leads to *always* getting a veteran because a rookie (by definition) hasn't "proven anything." Anthony and Campbell *seem* to be on the cusp of proving something. Or maybe they'll be Joe Charbonneau. Or maybe Bregman's OBP falls by another 40 points in 2025.
