@PSLToFlushing@SNYtv@ConnorJRogers Mauricio - likely to spend most of year in Syracuse if he's not traded? Where does he fit going forward: more powerful McNeil-utility type? DH platoon (strictly hitting lefty)?
@PSLToFlushing@SNYtv@ConnorJRogers What % impact did the '27 labor dispute/potential lockout have on this offseason plan? Obv, they wanted to reset aging contracts/clubhouse, but is there real fear that in 2 years they would have to dig out from serious payroll penalties. Feel like a perfect storm of variables
@PSLToFlushing@SNYtv@ConnorJRogers Can you give an overview on the 2026 IFA 'situation' with how they lost the guy, ended up with Wandy, your opinion on 1 BIG prospect is better than spreading $ around? Thx!
@PSLToFlushing I kinda view it as just 1 year of Semien, then lockout, and then you can dump/buy out final year if Jett is 2b/not traded. Worth it to get out of 5 year deal/Nimmo's injuries.
@PSLToFlushing@SNYtv@ConnorJRogers What do the next 5 years of Nimmo look like? Is he part time DH in 2 years? (LF) Soto + (RF) Benge and a legit CF should be the 2027 and onward mix
@PSLToFlushing@SNYtv@ConnorJRogers There's been alot of 'big changes' talk, but the rotation and most of lineup are locked in. This actually feels like 1 big SP trade, bullpen rebuild, and 1-2 lineup upgrades type of offseason. Am I wrong?

@PSLToFlushing Now we need Robert (acuna + mid level pitching prospect?) and go big for sandy (sproat, reimer, morabito get it done?) and push clay to 6th SP/Long reliever
@PSLToFlushing@SNYtv@ConnorJRogers Trading Vientos now is dumb. While having hot streaks, Marte is more a vibes guy than game changer. As Mendy has done, you can have a lineup w McNeil, Baty, Mauricio and Vientos. Next yr Vientos is FT DH. Rather they try 4 Cabrera bc no way Holmes/Senga/Montas go every 5th day
@PSLToFlushing@ConnorJRogers Thoughts on signing Montas so early in offseason, when waiting out SP market might have led to Buehler? I see the top end upside in Buehler and don't see it in Montas/Holmes, and feels like were one #2 starter away from a more dominant rotation.
@PSLToFlushing@SNYtv In 2 years where do the top hitting prospects settle position-wise. I could see a lineup of Jett 2B, Lindor SS, Soto RF, Pete 1B, Vientos DH, Nimmo LF, Alvarez C, Benge CF, Mauricio 3B w Acuna as superUTL and Gilbert 4OF.
@DylanSagevick @PSLToFlushing@SNYtv@ConnorJRogers Great Q - I've been eyeballing Buehler as a potential buy low guy next offseason as well. Senga, Sevy, Manaea, Buehler + Peterson/Scott/Butto eventually Sproat seems pretty damn solid, if they can avoid extremely long contracts on the FAs
@PSLToFlushing@SNYtv@ConnorJRogers In 2 years will we regret trading any of the prospects this deadline? Likely no, right? Stuart or Morris seem like only 2 options, so it seems they thread the needle really nicely.
