Nick Martinez: FA after this year
Brady Singer: 2026 is final year of Arbitration, will probably be $10m+
Emilio Pagan: FA after this year
Taylor Rogers: FA after this year

Jeimar Candelario: 2026 is final year under contract, if he can come back, hit half-decent and anyone is dumb enough to offer a PtbNL, take it.

I'd probably keep Singer around at 10m.  He's at the very least a solid 4 or 5 and can eat innings.  Plus, if we've learned anything, there's never a such thing as too many starters.  All the others are no-brainers.  I like Nick Martinez a lot.  I just feel like that 20m could be better spent elsewhere.  I'd love to see a rotation of Greene-Abbott/Lodolo-Lowder-Burns-Singer.  I might even dangle one of them for offensive help, ideally Lodolo if the return was impressive.
