I think Burr would be worth bringing back. The ERA isn't good, but all the peripherals are - he's kinda been the opposite of Cabrera.

Obviously it's hard to say what Romano can be going forward, but he and Green are locks for 2026.
Burr and Cabrera might be ok as secondary pieces.

Pretty much everything else needs to be rebuilt.

Is Yarbrough worth keeping if he wants to re-sign? Or you just let him walk?

I’m bullish on Hagen Danner for 25.
Then, I expect one of Francis or YRod to take the long role, with a starter brought in.
If you can add a high leverage guy or two, it could get deep pretty quick.
Feasible too. I’d expect some manner of impressive arm or two in the return for Bo.

Danner might be an option but his underlying numbers in Buffalo aren't great.

This is where the lack of development among pitchers hurts the team a lot. They've been dumpster diving on the waiver wire because they haven't developed solid pitching, even relievers.

Yeah, even the guys who seem to be developing well always hit a wall or it doesn't translate to the majors.

I assume they'll add a mid-rotation veteran next year and then have Rodriguez, Francis, and Bloss fight it out for the 5th rotation spot. Something like Francis as the 5th starter, Rodriguez as a long-man/spot starter, Bloss opening the year in AAA with Macko moving up to Buffalo. Then Manoah and Tiedemann come back around the All-Star break and the starting depth starts to look pretty good.

They need a couple big arms for the bullpen, though.

Considering the way some of the other guys are playing (Clement looking solid with the bat and excellent defensively, Jimenez adjusting pretty well to the majors, Orelvis looking great in AAA - though obviously he's a wild card at this point, even Kasevich adjusting well to AAA) I think trading Bo to address multiple other areas might actually be a smart move as opposed to just something they're forced to do because of his contract situation.

Yeah, I hear you.

Coming off injury tho, he hasn’t been bad. A guy to keep an eye on of a group of maybes for a lower leverage role.

I think Jimenez might be traded for a pitcher. They are deep with infielders and he has to be on the team.

Crazy numbers

Yeah Vogelbach and Biggio were given priority LOL.

I dunno about if we'd be in a playoff spot, but definitely not 10 games under. maybe around .500

Add in signing Turner and resigning Kk. That’s 4 roster spots that were f***ing trash. Half the lineup was an auto out. Terribly constructed team by management.
