  • Athletics

    Osvaldo Bido will be in the rotation, right? Roster Resource has him at AAA for some reason


    Arizona

    Nowhere for Jordan Lawlar to play?

    Atlanta

    Will they really go into the year with one of Ian Anderson, AJ Smith-Shawver or Bryce Elder in the rotation?

    Baltimore

    Probably nowhere for Heston Kjerstad or Coby Mayo to play as things stand, but they’re both seemingly a trade or an injury away. Any current interest?

    Boston

    More PA, Kristian Campbell or David Hamilton?

    Chicago Cubs

    Draft Ben Brown now and hope he wins the fifth starter’s spot?

    Chicago White Sox

    Likelihood Edgar Quero, Colson Montgomery, Bryan Ramos make Opening Day roster?

    Cincinnati

    Noelvi Marte, Rhett Lowder ticketed for Triple-A?

    Cleveland

    How much will Jhonkensy Noel play?

    Colorado

    What will Jordan Beck’s role be?

    Detroit

    Should we expect Jackson Jobe to make the Opening Day rotation?

    Houston

    Who intrigues us most as an OF flyer? Chas McCormick, Jake Meyers, Zach Dezenzo, Jacob Melton, Taylor Trammell


    Kansas City

    Intrigued by any of Kris Bubic, Alec Marsh, Kyle Wright, Michael Loreznen?

    Los Angeles Angels

    Seems pretty straightforward. Are we tracking what Reid Detmers and/or Caden Dana do in spring training?

    Los Angeles Dodgers

    Who plays more, Hyesong Kim or Andy Pages?

    Miami

    Derek Hill is going to play more than people think – one of the rare Roster Resource mess-ups currently

    Milwaukee

    What will Caleb Durbin’s role be to start the year?

    Minnesota

    Who will be the fourth and fifth starters? Simeon Woods Richardson, Chris Paddack, David Festa, Zebby Matthews

    New York Mets

    More playing time in 2025, Ronny Mauricio or Luisangel Acuna?

    New York Yankees

    How confident are we in Jasson Dominguez playing every day?

    Philadelphia

    Worried about Bryson Stott’s lineup placement and platoon when the team is at full strength?

    Pittsburgh

    What will Nick Yorke’s role be?

    San Diego

    Team Top-Heavy, everybody who can play will be playing

    San Francisco

    Will Hayden Birdsong make the Opening Day rotation?

    Seattle

    Top-heavy depth chart, presumably not done adding. Any interest in their cheap guys, Ryan Bliss, Dominic Canzone, Tyler Locklear, Austin Shenton?

    St. Louis

    Will Michael McGreevy open the year at Triple-A?

    Tampa Bay

    Will Richie Palacios or Jose Caballero play enough for us to use them?

    Texas

    Will Kumar Rocker be in the Opening Day rotation?

    Toronto

    Addison Barger, Ernie Clement, Orelvis Martinez or a player not currently on the roster as starting 3B?

    Washington

    Is Jacob Young really going to play every day in CF again?
