Who actually fits this roster.
- Jorge SolerDH · Free agent · Need: ModeratePlausible fit
Free agent after the 2026 season — availability is scheduled.
- Joc PedersonDH · Mutual option — availability conditional · Need: ModerateConditional
Free agent only if either side declines the 2027 mutual option — availability is conditional, and the decision is never predicted.
- Marcell OzunaDH · Mutual option — availability conditional · Need: ModerateConditional
Free agent only if either side declines the 2027 mutual option — availability is conditional, and the decision is never predicted.
Slots order NEED first, then WATCH; SET and UNKNOWN slots list no one. Within a slot the need is fixed, so candidates rank by availability certainty (scheduled free agents first), then name. Candidates are players with a sourced potential free-agent path (MLB.com, “Here's how future free-agent classes look”, 2026-05-02); trade candidates are not inferred.

- 2022–2026
- Agreement expires

What we will not pretend to know.
- Club payroll / commitments
- Not tracked — Posterior does not load a payroll dataset with a reliable public source, so no dollar figure is shown.
- Club spending capacity
- Unknown. Internal budgets and spending authority are not public, and this page never states one.
- What would appear here
- Guaranteed commitments, arbitration estimates, options, and dead money — each only with a public source attached.
