Starting Point for Bloom's first offseason
C Pages/Pozo Crooks/Pages
1B Contreras/Burleson
2B Donovan/Gorman Wetherholt
SS Winn/Saggese
3B Arenado
LF Nootbar Donovan
CF Scott Scott/Church
RF Walker Nootbar
DH Herrera
Trade Pozo, Gorman and replace with Crooks, Wetherholt
Send Walker to AAA and replace with Church
The OF is too lefthanded so why not trade LH Nootbar for a young RH outfielder. Sign a FA RF if the youngster isn't yet MLB ready.
Traded Fedde and replaced with McGreevy
Mikolas leaves via FA; replace with Mathews
Sign a FA SP to push Pallante for a job; need some depth until the herd of LH starters (Henderson, Hanson, Mautz) is ready late in 2026.
They should DFA Mikolas now and give Curtis Taylor an MLB look to see if he's worth keeping around for 2026.
Traded Helsley, Maton, Matz and replaced with Granillo, Alcala, Graceffo
Trade King and replace with Veneziano or Mosqueda
Sign a FA reliever or two to push Graceffo back to AAA for depth
Who plays 3b when goNado blows out his arm/shoulder?

If Arenado is still on the team next year, that is no good. I would rather see Wetherholdt at 3B so we have a long term replacement there. Nootbar should be traded based on control years. Saggese does nothing for me at this point, no pop at all. I would trade him if possible. Gorman if he brings back the right guy, can be traded or he can be bench/DH.
Your starting pitching is woefully inadequate. Mathews has walked so many guys, he clearly is not ready. Pallante has pitched himself off the team. They need either two new starting pitchers this year or they need to move Leahy in as a starter and acquire 1 more this offseason, at least. They need to have 1 ML ready starter in the McGreevy role presumably acquired via trade and then Mathews if he can pitch himself into the picture and Doyle perhaps is a fast riser as well. They also need to go out and acquire 2 more relief pitchers. I am still hopeful for Mathews, but lets not ruin him...
