2025-2026 offseason thread

I’d invite anyone that can play defense and has a pulse with the bat.

We are going to have issues getting Murphy any ABs hoping he can find it again, and also while Kim is out.

Our margin of error is thin in this division.

Slow start ? Long losing streak? Toast.
 
The SP depth is wayyyyyyyy better than last year. We just better hope that Waldrep and Ritchie are the real deal when one of the big 3 go down and we know it'll happen at some point. I wonder what Arreaz wants and if he expects to play all the time bc he could help a lot off the bench.
 
I’m actually fine with it for depth. As long as it’s not the answer. I’ve just always been astounded by Perez… throws absolute junk but keeps pitching decent
 
I like it, a lot. Especially as a minor-league deal. He's obviously not elite and at best, a No. 5. But that's some MLB-experienced depth in case the injuries run at us again lol

I am joking.. but I don't see him getting that. best case is someone like Bassitt that just slots in at #5 and pushes Lopez and Holmes to the pen/spot starter.

Bassitt’s more of a No. 5 in a bad season, a decent No. 3 in a great season, and a No. 4 most of the time. lol But he brings durability, reliability and enough upside to play a really solid role for us.
 
I am not against Bassitt by any means. I really want Lopez and Holmes to be pen/spot starters.. But I don't see Bassitt starting over any of our healthy pitchers sans Waldrep... maybe. If Strider is still tossing 94, then maybe him as well, but that is unknown.
 
Bassitt just makes to much sense. If we make a trade then we kill any quality depth we've gotten so just spend the money.
