And he’s not already a Pirate? I mean.. I doubt he gets anywhere close to that elsewhere but maybe I’m underestimating the incompetence amongst some FOs
2025-2026 offseason thread
- Thread starter Enscheff
- Start date
it's a bit higher than the various FA predictions i've seen, but not so much higher that it'd be a no-brainer, given that he'd have to play for the pirates

There will definitely be some big changes coming and no telling how long it may last

yeah, he doesn't seem like a guy that will just the highest contract but one that will give him the best op to win.
I wasn’t familiar with your game.

Honestly, if/when he signs elsewhere, I wonder if the Pirates would make a go at Ozuna. He seems like he'd be a great fit for them and should come relatively cheap. Not a lot of teams that are looking for a DH only player.

Pirates probably know this or that the Phillies already offered that. They put out a public offer that they know he won't take so they can say, well we trying

Schwarber making 30 mil at 37 will certainly be something.

Detroit Free Press’ Evan Petzold reports that the Tigers are interested in free agent SS Ha-Seong Kim.
Kim is coming off a rough, injury-plagued season in which he hit .234/.304/.345 in 48 games with the Rays and Braves. He was significantly better with Atlanta to close the year, hitting .253/.316/.368 with three home runs and 12 RBI in 24 games. In his career, Kim has been a solid defender at shortstop and also shown the ability to play second base and third base. The Tigers have been using Zach McKinstry a lot at shortstop with Trey Sweeney not developing the way the team had hoped. That means the spot could be open for a free agent, like Kim.

I bet he and Jose Conseco get real close around age 35
lmao
LMAO!!!
Pete Alonso has a significantly better track record as a hitter, and he's younger, and he can actually field a position defensively (which would have allowed them to DH Harper primarily).
Now they are stuck paying an aging pure DH 30 million per year while their franchise icon who can't stay healthy is gonna be forced to man 1b for the next 5 years, when he's already starting to look like a negative defender.
Classic Phillies. Now, please sign Realmuto to 4/60 and Bader for 4/75 and complete the Phillie incompetence trifecta.
