Blake treinan
Walker buehler
Teoscar Hernandez
Kiki Hernandez
Jack flaherty
Joe Kelly
We’ve already discussed the two retirements.
I let Kelly go. He’s done.
I’m surprised Rojas isn’t on that list and I don’t see this team having room for Taylor edman Rojas and Hernandez. If Rojas is under contract kike may be cut loose He’s a valuable back up at many positions.
So I cut Kelly loose above and if kike will sign for less than $4 mil I sign him and figure a way to part with Taylor and or Rojas.
Rojas I looked up. $1 mil buyout for 2025 so goodbye Miggy
Muncy is signed through 25 with an option for 26. I think 2025 will be it for him. Injuries and poor performance adding up. I would trade him if they can get value. Same with Miggy but most likely they cut Rojas.
Treinan has been injured more than healthy but he has elite movement. He is 36 so 37 isn’t great but relievers can throw at later ages. Because he missed two years he only made $1 million this year. But he is probably looking at $18 mil for 2 years and with his injury history and age I don’t see that happening. Too bad as he is an a elite arm. When healthy.
Btw kooech wants to be a starter but la has him inked for one more year so it doesn’t really matter what he wants.
Next years pen looks like kopech. Graterol. Banda. Vesia. Long man Honeywell and I’d say Dustin May and one other random guy with treinan and Hudson gone. Think the hope is may graterol and kopech can be high leverage guys with vesia and Banda situational lefty options. Oh yeah. And brasier and Evan Phillips fit in there too. So of all the names I said? Two of them magically have to be “hurt” or in the minors at all times
Kelly, Miggy and Taylor are GONE.
