Let's start with Pitching:
Returning:
deGrom $38M - 2.97 ERA, 172.2IP
Eovaldi $26M - 1.73 ERA, 130IP
Leiter (25) serf - 29GS, 3.86 ERA, 151.2IP
Latz* (29) serf - 8GS, 33G, 2.84, 85.2 IP <-deserves a chance in ST. Was a great swing guy.
Rocker (25) serf - 14GS, 5.74 <- filler. Likely not a rotation piece, but could contribute
Corneill (22) serf <- outside chance in 2026. Filler.
Bradford (27) serf <-mid season hopeful. No stock in him.
Winn (25) serf - 33G, 1.51
Garcia* (29) serf - 71G, 2.95
Webb (31) a3 - 55G, 3.00
Sborz a3
Church (24) serf - 5G, 3.86
Losses FA
SP:
Mahle (30, $16.6) - 16GS, 2.18, 86.2IP <- Too good to not get a 3yr deal.
-- He owes us. 1yr/$5M is my offer. 3yr/$45M is what he'll likely get
Gray (33, $13.0) - 6G, 7.71 <- If he wants to be a RP, maybe for cheap.
Corbin* (35, $1.10) - 29GS, 4.34, 151.1 <- I'd give him a 2 deal worth $10M per.
- Likely gets a 2yr heal for $15-20M per
Kelly (36) - 10GS, 4.23, 55.1IP <- Mixed on him. Last chance to get a real deal. Hasn't gotten paid.
Martin ($5.50) - 49G, 2.98
Milner* ($2.50) - 72G, 3.78
Armstrong ($1.25) - 71G, 2.31
Coulombe*

Summary:
We have 3 SP and 5 RPs that are set:
deGrom, Eovaldi, and Leiter are a solid 3 SPs
Winn, Garcia, and Webb are a solid 3 RPs.
Latz in there somewhere. Rocker likely makes the P staff.
We have 5 roles to fill. Historically, CY would do this:
SP - late additional (Corbin, Lorenzen). CY finds a desperate 1yr deal $5 or so.
SP - I wouldn't mind an innings guy. Corbin?
3 RP - I'd take any of the 5 RPs back.
We'll likely sign another 2 guys to minor league deals.
Overall, the P... SP and RP was not the problem and recreating that magic for 2026 will be tough.
