2025-2026 offseason thread

A couple of days ago we all thought Lehmann or Lombard were gonna get the job and Kim hadn't opted out so they must be working something out and here we are today with Weiss as manager and Kim is a FA. This offseason has started out as bad as it possibly could have.

Most likely Lehmann said no, and AA panicked
 
Looks like Nacho, Clohisy, Sinnard had strong performances in the AFL.

Does this elevate any of them to stronger prospect status? Any chance that this puts them in the plans for this year?

We already knew what we had in Nacho but Sinnard is pretty interesting. I have another bad feeling the Braves will keep Nacho as a utility guy and won't go after somebody like Donovan.
 
nacho's EV was only 86 and we already knew he had an advanced approach at the plate. unless his defense took a step forward i don't think much has changed about his outlook.

likewise clohisy's .742 OPS isn't really impressive given how hitter-friendly the AFL is

sinnard definitely took a step forward though, it sounds like his stuff was measurably better than during the season and he'll probably have a shot at a call up next year given our injury luck with SP

Sinnard definitely adds some depth to things. Nacho is still blah to me. Use him as a secondary piece in a trade.
 
Clohisy is a speed guy. Led the Sally League with 60 SBs in 92 games and then stole 19 more in 39 games when promoted to Mississippi. Currently leading the Arizona Fall League with 17 SBs. Bat will be the question. Looks like meager power. I've wrote in the past how guys with this profile always seemed to find their way onto a roster in the cave painting era as a 5th OF who was usually a defensive replacement and pinch-runner. Those guys appear to be luxuries now but Justin Dean did just get a World Series ring.

I'm surprised the Braves didn't want to have Alvarez moved around the diamond in Arizona, but I imagine they only get so much input with the other franchises who have players on the Glendale roster this year. If they wanted to get him experience at other positions, I don't know why they just didn't send him to winter ball.

Lara's ERA looks good, but he's walked 10 guys in 8.1 IP to go along with 11 Ks. I'm curious where they start Sinnard in 2026. I would guess Mississippi. He's only a year removed from surgery, so I hope they take their time with him, but I'm probably pushing a rope on that.
