We badIy need a right handed power hitter.  

 

O's have a right-handed power hitter in Mayo.  They have to develop him during the 2025 season.

Whomever signs Soto they better have a full time DH open for him because he is atrocious in the field.

- TOR pitcher

- Veteran legit MOO bat preferably RH

- Upgrade 1B and CF either internally or externally

- Lockdown set up guy who could close if needed.

The price we paid for Soto should have returned this.

I agree. Folks talked about Rogers being an overpay (rightly so) but Soto was just as bad, if not worse.

Especially since Seth Johnson would have about the same chance of success next season as Rogers

Sign Burnes. Sign Soto. sign McCann to a one year deal. Give Santander the QO and let him walk. Trade Mounty. Let O’Hearn go. Get Mayo and Kjerstad plenty of 1st base reps. evaluate the bench and keep one of Urias/Mateo and trade the other.  Scour the world for a good contact hitting RH outfielder who can play defense in our LF and CF.

With the Mountain coming back, I like the bullpen with the pieces we have. Bautista, DC, Dominguez, Soto, Akin, Webb, Perez And Suarez.

I love when people’s FA plans involve signing the two most sought after, expensive free agents on the market. You can really tell they thought it through.

Lots of folks are saying RHB, but what about a LHB with even or reverse splits? And I assume SH who hits LHP. That would open up:

Soto (L), .966

Carlos Santana (S), .934

Conforto (L), .886 (opt out)

Profar (S), .885

Alonso (L) .803

Santana is interesting...
