There are 12 guys currently eligible based on innings/games played to be considered DHs. Before this season I would have taken 7 or 8 above Reynolds. And of the other 4 or 5, one is Victor Martinez who is in the last year of his big contract on a bad team so they aren't signing Reynolds and the other is Albert Pujols and the Angels aren't playing Reynolds above him. Of the others, CJ Cron is 6 years younger. Logan Morrison had a much better 2017 than Reynolds and 4 years younger, and therefore commanded a better contract. The other is Matt Davidson and the White Sox aren't going to sign any free agents on what they knew was going to be a shit season.
