I'd offer Bill a 4/110 extension, with his next year $15m number, that becomes 5/125... Would make him the highest AAV player to play catcher. The intangibles that he brings to this team are just off the charts, and he showed up when it mattered most offensively.
Bauers- QO, absolutely. He cooled off at the end, but a core pillar for us. I saw baseball America speculating that he'd be a 3/$48 player.
Megill- keep for next year. Our bullpen was insane. Hard to keep any of our bullpen guys in FA. I think having the quartet of Hall, Uribe, Ashby, and Megill was the difference. Absolutely keep that group together for 2027.
Set, Jojo, May... let them walk. I'd maybe be interested in a 1/$5M deal with them, but I'm guessing all will do better on the open market
Vaughn- Given his minimal role in the playoffs, I'd probably look to trade.
Sal/Mitchell- I'd keep for 1 more year
Ortiz/Hamilton- both were hot/cold this year. I'd keep both for 2027
I agree on the potential extensions for Henderson, Gasser, Abner, Harrison, Hall... and if we can sign Made
