Next years projections?

Some of the past starters can now solely focus on the bullpen too. You had little offense from last years outfield. You have 2 or 3 new guys there and 2 guys that were hurt last year hopefully will be healthy. If they pull off the trade at catcher, they might have the best offense in the national league. You could see 20+ homeruns at nearly every position, the OBP should be better too. The teams ERA could be a run less per game. If the catcher trade is pulled off, I’d be disappointed with less than 88 wins. It’s a pretty extensive overhaul of players, throw in the coaching changes and this is an entirely different team all together. Every aspect, except the solid infield is different.

I think if they get Realmato, that also helps the pitching. He’s one of the best pitch framers in the game. Tucker I believe is close to last. His blocking is very good tho, which is how he won his GG. But 88 wins is still probably a tad high for your “floor” expectations tbh even with Real. Our division is ranked as one of the closest divisions in the last 5 years or so. Not the best, but from overall expected wins/losses. It’ll be tough
