2025-2026 offseason thread

They said they found out almost 2 weeks ago. I don't know how it would be illegal not telling another team you have a hurt pitcher so you don't get bent over.

Then it sounds like they kept it a secret for a while, doesn’t it? Again, how are you going to keep it a secret at ST when SS isn’t pitching?

Does Bassitt have a reputation for taking short term deals?

 

[Enscheff]

AA: "We still really like our pitching depth."

Rattles off a list of AAAA arms.

Beat reporters and social media readers nod in approval because they recognize the names.

Where did this happen?

So what the fuck is left to negotiate with Bassitt? If he’s standing firm at three years or being ridiculous and asking north of 25 million, move on the next guy.

In his toy room with his dolls. I bet he did the voices and everything

You couldn't. It happened 2 weeks ago so I'm surprised AA didn't do something in that time period before he was forced to break the news. Now everybody knows he's hurt and we need a replacement.

So....uh.... havent heard any news about Reynaldo in a while. That concerns me. Sale either but no news is good with him.

The QO I think? Does he have one?

Nope.

They showed Sale walking around today and playing long toss. Lopez yeah I haven't heard anything or seen pics of him anywhere.

 

[chop2chip]

Yikes.

Bassit at that number would have been perfect.

AA not addressing the rotation spoiled what was initially a fantastic start of an offseason.

 

[UNCBlue012]

AA is fucking ass

 

[Slippyjms]

On to Giolito

 

[MadduxFanII]

Did Bassit sign somewhere? Maybe you guys can share a link or something?

Oof. I would happily have done that for Bassit.

 

[Heyward]

Yeah, cant really defend AA there. One year deal would have been perfect and no QO. No way they can go into the season with this current group minus Schwelly.

 

[Super]

AA didn’t have $20m for Bassitt?
