Steve Adams did a MLBTR chat in which he was asked about our opening day starter:
I would imagine their Opening Day starter is whichever veteran they throw a year and $5-10MM at in the next few weeks. They need at least one source of steady innings in there. Tyler Anderson, Tomoyuki Sugano, Jose Quintana, Martin Perez, etc. … someone along those lines.
Mikolas if they really just want bulk innings (which would be defensible)
Our rotation candidates for 2026 right now are: Cavalli, Gray, Williams, Parker, Irvin, Lord, Alvarez, and Griffin with Herz due back at some point. Of that, if we don't sign anyone, i'd imagine Cavalli gets the nod (if healthy).
