Future starting pitching.

2025 Gray 35, Fedde 32, Mikolas 36, Pallante 26, Liberatore 25
2026 Gray 36, Pallante 27, Liberatore 26, McGreevy 25, Roby 24
2027 Gray 38, Pallante 28, Liberatore 27, McGreevy 26, Roby 25, Mathews 26, Henderson 25
2028 Pallante 29, Liberatore 28, McGreevy 27, Roby 26, Mathews 27, Henderson 26

2025 Helsley 30, Maton 32, Matz 34, Romero 28, King 30, Leahy 28, Graceffo 25, Roycroft 28, Fernandez 27, Svanson 25
2026 Romero 29, King 31, Leahy 29, Graceffo 26, Roycroft 29, Fernandez 28, Svanson 27, Granillo 26
2027 King 32, Leahy 30, Graceffo 27, Roycroft 30, Fernandez 29, Svanson 28, Granillo 27
2028 Leahy 31, Graceffo 28, Roycroft 31, Fernandez 30, Svanson 29, Granillo 28

There's lots of room for Hence and Hjerpe and more in future bullpens. Also, starters are all likely to fizzle out; few have long careers.

Gray won't be here in 2027. I would say the 1st round draft pick may be the answer too there.

Gray has a team option for 2027, so it’s not guaranteed that he won’t be here.

I just don't think it would be picked up. Really hard to see that happening at $30M.

My guess is Mathews over Roby in 2026.

How about both? Roby was really good in his last outing.
