The offseason is heating up, and with recent signings like Frankie Montas to the Mets and Matthew Boyd to the Cubs, the landscape of the league is shifting. But are these moves enough to make a significant impact, or are they just band-aids on larger issues?
Let's dive into the Mets' strategy. They’ve secured Montas, who had a rough season last year, but is he really the answer to their rotation woes? With the potential loss of Pete Alonso looming, will they pivot to focus on acquiring a true ace like Corbin Burnes or Max Fried? Or do you think they’ll stick to their current plan and hope Montas can bounce back?
On the other hand, the Cubs seem to be taking a different approach. Signing Boyd for $29 million over two years raises eyebrows, especially when many expected them to target higher-tier pitchers. Is this a sign of a larger strategy, or are they simply settling for mediocrity? With the NL Central being a competitive battleground, can the Cubs realistically contend with the Brewers, or are they just playing for a wildcard spot?
And what about the market for pitchers attached to qualifying offers? With teams shying away from these players, do you think we’ll see a surge in activity as the offseason progresses, or will teams continue to play it safe?
Let’s hear your thoughts! Are these signings smart moves, or are they indicative of deeper issues within these franchises? What bold predictions do you have for the rest of the offseason?
