What does your team need to be a contender?

And what to you want them to do about it?

Boston needs a RH bat, a better SP, more RP, and better IF D...

It would be great to sign Dominican Teoscar Hernandez. Fills multiple needs including helping fellow Dominicans Bryan Bello & Rafael Devers....

Max Fried would be a great fit as his HS teammate and friend Lucas Giolito has already opted in...

Boston media is pushing for RP Tanner Scott, but he'd be expensive for a reliever. Bullpen is where I like to see shorter deals to a bunch of options...

To improve defense, they need to make Rafael Devers DH. This would mean moving Masataka Yoshida (a near impossibility). I think they'll punt til next year.

Phillies is a tough one. They have 4 good starters and a decent offense so they are probably already contenders. But they still need to improve somewhere. Their big bats are a year older. Like every year, they need to be continually searching for bullpen arms. But nothing else sticks out as a way to make an obvious improvement since a lot of guys are kind of locked into their spot. A good all around centerfielder that can add some offense would be nice, but I don't know where that would come from. They have a guy in the minors but I think he's a year away.

Braves have a lot of talent - we could use another strong starting pitcher though with it being likely Fried is gone. As for hitting, we need better production from the SS position, Arcia isn’t a very good hitter. And Sean Murphy needs to step up his production after a lousy 2024 now that d’Arnaud is gone. Overall I think we have a good chance at contending next year with the talent we have (Acuna, Olson, Riley, Ozuna, Albies, Harris etc) but those are the areas would could improve at.

Brewers need a richer owner.

Tigers need more hitting.

Easiest place to find it would be at third or first imo. We’ll see. Low payroll and a lot of young pieces that could be moved.

Also could use a high end starter. Like anybody couldn’t use one of those, right?

O’s need right handed bats, #1 starter, a good middle reliever or two (bridge to Bautista) and a new hitting approach.

And we all know what will happen. Ownership will sign a 40+YEAR OLD reliever coming off tommy john and probably another SS
