Argonauts / Start Your Team Build Early
Last post by thebuland -
As you begin your team builds consider a couple players that might get you a head start.

I don't get to say this very often but I have starting pitching to spare and some good ones.

Sonny Gray - Gray had a 3.6 fWAR in 180.2 innings. He was 14-8 with a 4.28 ERA with 201/38 K/BB. While the ERA doesn't knock your socks off, his FIP and xFIP are low 3's. He's a VG starter. His contract is 10.3M/2026.

Casey Mize - Mize had a 2.4 fWAR in 149 innings. He was 14-6 with a 3.87 ERA. He's an AV starter. His was just offered arbitration so he's at 3M/ARB2.

Ryne Nelson - Nelson had a 2 fWAR in 154 innings. He was 7-3 with a 3.39 ERA. He mostly started and is AV but is a EX reliever. He's on a rookie contract. 500K/2027

Sandy Alcantara - Alcantara had a 1.7 fWAR in 174.2. He was 11-12 with a 5.36 ERA but looks can be deceiving with FIP and xFIP's in the low 4's. He's a VG starter. His contract is 3.15M/27.

Catching is also an area of depth for the Argonauts which has me debating whether I should offer Tyler Stephenson and Sean Murphy arbitration. Both would be Arbitration 2 guys and didn't have the greatest of years however catching is always a premium so holler if they might be interested.

Stephenson - .231/.316/.421 with VG/VG power. He's FR/51 with AV arm defensively. He'd be at 3.5M if offered Arbitration.
Murphy - .199/.300/.409 with EX/VG power and AV/43 with an AV arm defensively. He's also clutch Terror. He'd be at 2.5M if offered Arbitration.

I'm open on return. I'd be interested in 2b, 3b, of corner OF help at the major league level as well draft picks. Dropping salary would also be of interest.

Salary Offsets / Thunder salary offset requests
Last post by Kyle -
Rey Lopez (2027/$5.85M) should now be 2027/$2.925M I believe.

Javier Assad. Was 2026/$3.2M. Now 2026/$1.6M.

Tyson Miller - honestly not sure if he qualifies, so here's a link. If he qualifies, he was a 2027/$2.5M contract, now 2027/$1.25M.

2026 Arbitration Accepted / Thunder Arb
Last post by Kyle -
Randy Arozarena is given arbitration, new contract should look like this: 2026/$3M/A2

Matt Brash is given arbitration, new contract should be 2026/$1M/A1

Spencer Strider is given arbitration, new contract should be 2026/$1M/A1

Romy Gonzalez is given arbitration, new contract should be 2026/$1.5M/A1

The Thunder decline offering arbitration to Justin Steele (2026/$2.5M/A1), and will place him on waivers in the appropriate thread.
