2025-2026 offseason thread

65 days until pitchers and catchers report. Today would be a great day for AA to upgrade the rotation, add a legit power bat, or bring in a high leverage reliever.

Every year? Dude literally traded for the cy young two years ago. People really are letting AAs moves since the deadline of 24 effect their opinion of how he built this team prior to that. I'll join in on the criticism if this off-season is a bust but its super early.

So he's struck out the last 3 times ('24 deadline, '25 offseason, and '25 deadline). Is this making him look better?

I honestly would only call the offsesaon last year a 'strikeout'. The 24 team had quite a few injuries that I'm not sure trying to bring in a bunch of guys to patch the holes was the smartest idea. And the 25 team was just bad/hurt and I don't think moving Igelasias for a 45 FV prospect was going to save it like some people around here think.

It's clear he fucked up regarding SP depth last year. AA has a history of course correcting pretty quick when the team has an issue.
