2025-2026 offseason thread

[Hudson2]

We had the same concerns last year as this year and still not one SP has been acquired. If that's not a fail I don't know what is. If the season goes south bc of SP injuries then AA needs to be on the hot seat and there's no way to spin that.

 

[Southcack77]

Certainly concerning, but he hasn't thrown in like a year, so I'm sure he's being ramped up

I don't know whether it's concerning or not honestly.

There is already concern.

There is already concern.

If they don't feel his velocity is gonna return, there will almost certainly be a SP signed

Saw an opening day lineup and starting rotation projection today.

The bottom 4 of the lineup was Albies, Harris, Eli White, Dubon

The rotation had Holmes, Lopez, and Elder in it.

Lowe couldn’t get a MLb deal ?

 

[Carp]

The writing is on the wall for some of these guys already

I don't have much faith in Lopez making it through the year unscathed, but is this really much of a concern at this point? Are guys throwing sitting at their normal range this early in ST?

Holmes is.

Lopez Is likely cooked I’m not sure why everybody insists on trying to fool themselves

This is just like a prospect getting shelled and everyone saying he is working on things.

Lopez hopefully has been throwing the whole offseason. I wouldn’t expect him to maintain 95 for6 innings right now. But to be throwing a BP session and have a 4plus MPH drop is a huge red flag. I don’t think he makes it through spring.
