If they were to do a complete rebuild for next year 2026, could look something like:

Catcher……..Pages/Crooks/Bernal maybe at some point
1st Base…..Burleson/Gorman
2nd Base…..Donovan/Weatherholt/Fermin
Shortstop….Winn/Weatherholt
3rd Base…..Gorman/Weatherholt/Donavan
DH…………………..Herrera, Saggese

Outfield…..Scott, Nootbar, Walker, Burleson, Church Maybe, Baez might be an option at some point

They are really low on players in the Outfield it seems at MLB and AAA, and really just Baez at AA, who has had a bounce back year

Starting Pitching

Gray
Libertorre
McGreevy
Roby

Bullpen

Pallante
Graceffo
O’Brien
Roycroft
Granillo
Leahy
Romero
Svanson
Zack Thompson if he can get healthy would be another LH option

– Would need a 5th starter in trades (Hence and Mathews would be options if can stay healthy)
– Need some outfielders that can hit
– 1st base is a little shaky as well…
– Bullpen will need some arms
– Probably missed some other options
