Pretty sure he's eligible for MiLB Free Agency. But I don't think they would've sent him to the AFL unless they were planning on adding him to the 40-man.

•It's likely that Joc Pederson will exercise his $18.5MM player option after he had his worst MLB season.

•Adolis Garcia is a DFA or "change of scenery" trade candidate.

•Jake Burger had a disappointing season, although he finished strong (117 wRC+ over last 119 PA).

Hadn't seen that yet. Thanks! Probably just to give him an optional path to the majors in case he's blocked at 3B again. I'm sure a reunion with Eugenio Suarez will be a popular offseason rumor, although my guess is they spend mostly on pitching.

•Dbacks should have enough OF depth to cover for Lourdes Gurriel (ACL surgery; likely out until May/June) until he returns. Blaze Alexander's ability to play OF helps, especially if Alek Thomas isn't hitting. Jordan Lawlar will likely get a chance to be the starting 3B.

•Pitching should be the top priority for the Dbacks. Justin Martinez and AJ Puk should be back in the 2nd Half to strengthen the bullpen. A late-season return for Corbin Burnes is possible, but not as likely as Martinez/Puk. Dbacks might need to add 2 SP and at least 3-4 RP this offseason.

•Joe Mack should be in the mix to make the Opening Day roster and will likely be the team's starting catcher at some point in 2026.

•Robby Snelling should be the next pitching prospect in line for the rotation. Thomas White might not be that far behind.

•The bullpen was terrific late in the season with JoJoRomero, Riley O'Brien, Matt Svanson, and Kyle Leahy all stepping up after Helsley, Maton, and Matz. were traded. Leahy will get a chance to start in 2026.

•Along with trying to trade Nolan Arenado again, the Cardinals' offseason priority will likely be starting pitching.

•How quickly can JJ Wetherholt force his way to the majors? And will he play 2B or 3B? Probably depends on whether they can trade Arenado or not.

•Club options for Brandon Lowe ($11.5MM) and Pete Fairbanks ($7MM) are likely to be exercised.

•Shane McClanahan's status is TBD after he underwent a nerve-related arm surgery.

•Top prospect Carson Williams struggled in his MLB debut. No guarantee he'll be the Opening Day SS.

For sure. I hate most of his trades but I also love that he's been going all in for the past few years. So I can't complain. After all, my favorite team has zero championships and I'd like to experience one during my lifetime.

Leo De Vries could arrive in 2026. Will the A's move Jacob Wilson (-10 DRS/-2 OAA) to 2B at some point? Can Denzel Clarke hit enough to be the starting CF? He struggled at the plate as a rookie but was 14 for his last 42 before season-ending injury. 2B/3B are likely up for grabs.

Biggest questions for the Braves involve the starting rotation, which could be elite. Grant Holmes (elbow) will opt for rest/rehab over surgery so there's no guarantee he'll contribute in 2026. If healthy, will Reynaldo Lopez return to the rotation? Maybe he's their next closer.

Jason R.R. Martinez (FanGraphs/RosterResource) @rosterresource.fangraphs.com · 4d

Players with options won't be added to the RR page until it's confirmed by the team or player that it will be exercised. Of the club options, Sale's is a no-brainer. Albies/Kinley are likely to return. Pierce Johnson is a maybe. Ha-Seong Kim could go either way with his player option.

Jeremiah Jackson was one of their best players during the final months of the season. At the least, he's a super-utilityman who starts a few games per week. If everyone's healthy, it could be tough to get regular ABs. Tyler O'Neill/Colton Cowser will get a chance to bounce back.
