2025-2026 offseason thread

Gioloto certainly has the higher ceiling of the two. But he comes with more risk. Either one would help the SP depth tremendously. That would give us a solid 6 SPs that you can comfortably expect to be league average as long as they are healthy, pushing Waldrep to the 6th man in this group or pushing Lopez to the pen.

Then you have Holmes, Martin Perez, Ritchie, Wentz, Fuentez, and a slew of AA/AAA prospects as your emergency depth. When your 8th or 9th best SP options are Top 100 prospect caliber SPs in the upper minors, I would say that you have addressed the SP depth very well.

Yaz signed for essentially the same deal as Bader. Bader is a much better defender and also plays CF, but Yaz is a far better hitter and is also a solid defender in the corners.

Certainly doesn't seem like an overpay to me
Yeah I mean Bader being able to play a good CF is a pretty big difference. He’s also four years younger (and did still get less $). I think Yaz could’ve been had for $16m-$18m.
