2025-2026 offseason thread

looks like SAV shadow-banned me.

Thank you sav - long overdue

Didn’t the rays just claim bido?

I got a feeling we are about to sign Ozuna. I don’t know why. It looks like the pirates are going to do it…. But I’ve got a weird feeling it’ll be us.

 

[Hudson2]

There's a 0% chance we bring Ozuna back.

 

[Hulavol]

Less than zero. I fully understand this. We don’t need him, we don’t want him, we don’t have room for him. I’ve still got a weird feeling about it.

I don’t know what the Phillies are doing this offseason. They’ve spent money but haven’t actually improved their team at all. Signed Keller but then traded Strahm for a random RP. As it stands right now I think Atlanta is easily the better team.

When Dombrowski has to actually GM and not just throw money around he’s not very good at it.

53 days until pitchers and catchers report. Today would be a great day for AA to put a solid starting pitcher under the Christmas tree.

 

[UNCBlue012]

AA would have a much more relaxing Christmas if he'd just pull the trigger on whatever trade or deal he has in his pocket and get it over with lol then, we can also relax. Value shmalue

Yeh Bido is a Ray now

He has less value to us than any other team in the league. If he comes back here he still has 10/5 rights

 

[Hulavol]

That’s a very good point I hadn’t thought of….. alright- safe to say no Ozuna …. Which, of course, is good… except for Fauxuna…I’ll miss seeing that dude at the games

 

[Carp]

10/5 rights are irrelevant. If Ozuna comes back, it's strictly on a 1 year deal. And it'll be for 10m or less. If he sucks, no one will want to trade for him anyways. If he's good, we'll want to keep him for the entire season.

Granted, Ozuna is a hard player to carry on a roster when you already have 2 poor defensive OFers. But I suppose too many good hitters is a good problem to have.

I'm sure he has a few he knows he could make right now but is waiting to see if something else comes along.

Just curious, what do some of you think it would cost to get Peralta from Milwaukee?

 

[NYCBrave]

To clear a 40-man roster spot for reliever Kyle Finnegan, the Tigers have designated outfielder Justyn-Henry Malloy for assignment.

I remember when trading him was a big mistake (to some)

Either Waldrep or Ritchie plus Lara, Burkhalter or someone of that level. Probably a little more. But he's only a rental so it'll hurt but won't astronomical.

 

[Super]

I’m not trading Waldrep+ for Peralta. Ritchie sure.

52 days until pitchers and catchers report. Today would be a great day for AA to upgrade the rotation.

Would love to see the Braves sign Tatsuya Imai. I think he has the best mix of upside, age, and lack of acquisition cost (no QO penalty, will only cost money). Moreover, it’s been long overdue for the team to dip their toe back into the East Asian FA market.
