Finally we have a move!!!

Hope that swing change carries over to this season as well. Improved defender in left, clutch, with very good plate discipline.

With Acuna healthy, this OF could be special.

Still think we need another starter and reliable reliever.

Need another reliver for sure and i'd love a vet starter for cheap. We will pitch 8-9 starters this year as we give the older guys longer rest periods and with Strider coming off injury. Would love to upgrade SS but not sure that will be in the cards until Arcia is awful once again and forces AA's hand.

Yea, I've already accepted that Arcia will be our SS for 2025. Hope he can give us 2023 Arcia. Gotta assume he can't be worse than he was last season (please god no).

A Cease trade would be ideal, but think an Andrew Heaney signing or Jordan Montgomery trade is more realistic.

Go ahead and take a flyer on David Robertson and/or Kenley Jansen since Jimenez will probably miss the season.

Looking forward to seeing Profar hit leadoff for a bit, until Ronnie is back. Once Ronnie is back in the lineup, I'd take that top 7 of Acuna, Profar, Riley, Olson, Ozuna and Harris/Albies against anyone. Maybe we can even see a more consistent Murphy as an every day catcher. IF we see progression to the mean for these dudes, it doesn't even matter what we get from Arcia at the plate. Just play above average defense and we are good. Lots of IFS though.

Lineup will be interesting. Profar being even close to last year will be a huge upgrade. I just expect Arcia to suck so doubt we get an upgrade there and I think you see Ozuna fall off slightly from the great year he had last year. But I expect Riley, Olson, Harris, and Albies to have WAY better seasons next season. Olson had that crazy slump for most of the season and all of the injuries made it the season from hell. I don't think there is a chance in hell that they can get any more unlucky with the injury luck to players than last season but who knows...
