I didn't name any pitchers or even Diaz yet.
I have no issue with some guys on your list, but you seem to mainly be taking hitting into account. Not only is Julio a great outfielder, but he’s going to swipe 30-40 bases a season.
Many of the guys you listed are awful in the field or on the base paths (Schwarber, Yordan, etc.).
If we are strictly talking about players you’d build a team around (taking into account age), the only players I’d think about taking over Julio would be Ohtani, Judge and Acuna. Other guys are either getting older or don’t impact the game in enough ways (Vlad, Yordan, etc).
