With this year lost (and likely next year too), what do we look like in '26 and '27?

[Chad Turner]

Next year Sandy and Eury will likely be on a pitch count.  We don't have the stud upper level prospects to make a difference at the plate.  More trades are probable.  Can we compete again in '26?  Or will it be '27? Here's my projected lineup, followed by the year they become FAs:

SP: Sandy extension, Eury '31?, Brax '29, Ed '29, Weathers '30?, Meyer, Fitterer.  Trade Luzardo.  I'm predicting Sandy having a mediocre 1st year back, therefore we can extend him on the cheap.  If he has a great '25, then trade him.  We also have a strong next wave with Milbrandt, Fulton, Miller, Olson, Brooks, White, and Noble.  Plus whatever Dominicans emerge.  I see you Juan DLC.  Such a fun name.  

Most of our pen is controllable, and we have a bunch of decent RPs in the minors, so I'm sure we will be ok there.  Obviously Scott will be traded soon.

At the plate, Jazz looks like an obvious trade candidate.  I say we build around Burger '30, and Brujan '30,  I'm pencilling in Edwards and Martorella as our other IF starters.  Our OF is Mesa Jr, Myers, and Marsee.  Banfield and Mack at C.  Trade DLC and Sanchez if they have value.  If not, pencil them in.  Hopefully some of the near replacement level guys we have of a quad A guy emerges.  Perhaps another upper level prospect I haven't covered.  

We obviously need bats.  This can be done with trades, the draft, and free agency.  I think any team would be happy with our future pitching, but our hitting sucks.  Can we get enough for Scott, Luzardo, and Jazz to stop there?  Or are Brax, Ed, Sandy, and Burger gone too?  That's the question.    

Who did I miss?
