Purely my opinion:
Sign one of Imai / King
Pay Keller and give him a chance to win a rotation job in the spring, relief as a fallback option
Also sign Finnegan or other upper-mid reliever of choice
See if trading Assad could get us a decent bat for the bench
Spend any remaining cash on other quality bench guys as competition to Mo, Caissie, etc.
Go get the typical fliers on relief guys
There may not be enough cash in the budget for all that, but it's what I'd like to see happen.
Imai/King, Shota, Horton, Boyd, Taillon, Keller, Rea, Brown as rotation options to start the year
Add Steele & Wiggins as additional depth as the year goes on.
We started nine different SP in 2025 (plus seven games with openers where there was no good SP option). We started nine different SP in 2024 (plus two games with openers where there was no good SP option). I really wouldn't mind signing two SP to have the depth there.
