Re-signing Minor is definitely a signal the team is expecting to take a competitive step forward this year. I hope it’s not the only vet they bring in to fill holes.

They probably will go with a 6-man rotation next year - as no starter will be in position to work more than 22-24 starts, so we need to frame rotation thoughts from that perspective.

Keller
Duffy
Singer
Minor
Bubic
Junis
Kowar
Lacy

All seem likely to get MLB starts this season. I wouldn’t mind adding another vet with SP chops to the group, just to add to the depth and also take some pressure off
the young guys.

I would love to see them add Joc Pederson, unless his price is way higher than I expect.

He would add some LH balance to the lineup and also contribute power and patience as well. He’d be a major upgrade from 2020 Alex Gordon. And it would let them use Merrifield more as a UTIL guy.
