Might as well start this now. I assume we see a few guys are going to hit the portal.
I’m going to split guys into what I personally think is likely to happen for most contributors that could come back.
Might get drafted:
Jimenez (I would be shocked if he is a knight last year)
Ross (I think he stays if he doesn’t get drafted high)
Likely staying :
Williamson
Sosnowski
Gray
King
Sandefer
Sauser
Siegel
Wicker
Either way :
Rodriguez
Krewson
Espinal
Schoneboom
Rivera
Kozera
Calise
Likely gone :
Stone
Smith
Almonte
Maduro
Obviously I didn’t cover everyone, but IMO the most imperative positions to grab via the portal is SS (I don’t think Jimenez is back next year hope I’m wrong), 2 corner IF, 2 starter worthy OF, and a complete revamp of the bullpen outside of maybe Sosnowski and Schoneboom. Maybe a top end starter too especially if one of the sophomores leave.
When does it open for our guys? I see there are dudes entering already including a couple guys that might be highly touted.
