Yeah, this kid had some crazy K numbers. Maybe FanGraphs will finally add him to their depth chart

A net gain of 6.75M in room for 2025

Jim Bowden predicted we trade two minor league pitchers for Jordan Montgomery. I don’t think he’s ever been correct on a prediction, so that may have just killed that idea. If we were to trade for Montgomery, I think we should be able to attach Fletcher’s $6.5M in 25 and $1.5M buyout in 26.

Teoscar Hernandez has averaged a 125 RC+ and 3 WAR over the last 4 years. He just turned 32 and his subpar defense will only get worse. However, we’ll have a DH opening after the 25 season he could slide in to. The predictions are 3-4 years 20-25M per year.

I don’t know who it would be, but now that Soler is gone we should be after a legit starting OF. Kelenic can play RF until Acuna returns, then move to 4th OF role and spell Acuna when needed. He’d get enough ABs. He could also play the same role in 2026 if we find a longer term answer in LF. I...

Yeah he can be non-tendered. It just seems odd cause the Angels could’ve done the same. Maybe he’ll be flipped or maybe they see a reliever option. I guess we’ll find out. The main takeaway is we’ll be going after an OF this off-season. We’re not starting the season with Kelenic and Ramon.

The return is odd. Canning’s expected to make $5.1M and isn’t any better of an option than our current cheaper #5 options.

Do we see a Schwellenbach extension this year? Strider’s contract for a reference was… 1M in the first 2 years which isn’t much more than pre-arb salaries 4M in the 3rd year of the contract, what would’ve been the 1st year of arbitration. 20M and 22M the next 2 years/last 2 years of...

Evoldi has averaged 151IP the last 4 years while averaging a 2,95 WAR and a 3.76 ERA. Supposedly he’s learned more how to pitch than throw which has been effective and kept him healthy. He’s also pitched well in the postseason We’re essentially looking for a Charlie Morton replacement and...

Walker Buehler might make sense on a 1 year prove it deal. He wouldn’t be any kind of answer though. Shane Bieber could make sense depending on what he’s wanting. He won’t be back til June, but a backloaded 2-3 year deal might work. I think he works a deal with Cleveland first if he goes that...

Agreed. Baldwin can be our new Tromp for a season until TDA walks. He’ll get some playing time.

Sonny Grays contract is $25M next year and $35M in 2026. We’ll likely get our money’s worth in 2025 and overpay in 2026. Strider is also jumping from $4M in 2025 to $20M in 2026. So that would give us an $83M rotation in 2026. However the jump in Strider’s and Gray’s contracts from 2025 to...

When you look at the last 2 year comparison it tells a different story. OPS+ Perdomo 99 Arcia 86 WAR the last 2 years Perdomo 4.3 Arcia 3.2 Arcia played in 54 more games over those 2 years.

The Jordan Montgomery/Geraldo Perdomo trade makes the most sense. What would the Dbacks want in return? What would we give?

I don’t know enough about Harper to even guess, but something changed with him after his promotion to MS. He started dominating and then moved in to the rotation. We’ve had good luck turning closers in to starters, so he’s going to be an interesting one to follow.

Agreed. My guess is the new hitting coach will be more analytically focused.

Baldwin 2-5 with a HR His name is going to come up in every trade discussion this offseason.

The last Boras player we signed was Michael Bourn in 2012

Upgrading SS isn’t going to be as easy. Teams don’t let go of good shortstops and they’re usually overpriced come free agency. A guy like Perdomo makes the most sense if the Dbacks are good with Lawlar. Willi Castro makes a lot of sense, as he can play OF as well, since we’d have Arcia still...
