"As the Marlins look to avoid a potential grievance, they could be looking to spend more than they usually would in the offseason. It's a situation not unlike the one that led the A's to sign Luis Severino and Jose Leclerc, extend Brent Rooker and Lawrence Butler, and trade for Jeffrey Springs last winter. So far, the Marlins have been connected to high-end relievers such as Devin Williams and even a qualified free agent in right-hander Michael King."
"As far as extension talks go, it's been reported that the club spoke with outfielder Kyle Stowers about a potential contract, though they faced a gap that appears insurmountable for the time being. While a Stowers extension seems unlikely for the time being, perhaps the club could explore talks with another player on the roster like Eury Perez, Xavier Edwards or Jakob Marsee."
"Yesterday, it was announced that Warren Schaeffer would have the "interim" tag removed from his title and officially become the next Rockies manager after signing a multi-year deal under newly-minted president of baseball operations Paul DePodesta. That completes the most significant overhaul Rockies' leadership has seen in quite some time. GM Bill Schmidt was fired at season's end, assistant GM Zack Rosenthal left the team shortly thereafter, and manager Bud Black was dismissed back in May."
"Now that Schaeffer is in place, he'll have the opportunity to remake his coaching staff as he sees fit in a way he wasn't able to after taking over for Black midway through the 2025 campaign. The Rockies will now join a host of other teams looking to fill out their coaching staffs this winter after nearly a third of the league shook things up in the dugout this year."
The Marlins may increase offseason spending to avoid a potential grievance and have been linked to high-end relievers including Devin Williams and Michael King. The club engaged in extension talks with Kyle Stowers but faced a significant gap, making a Stowers deal unlikely; internal extension candidates could include Eury Perez, Xavier Edwards or Jakob Marsee. The Rockies removed the "interim" tag from Warren Schaeffer and signed him to a multi-year deal under Paul DePodesta after substantial front-office turnover, including the firing of GM Bill Schmidt. Schaeffer can remake his coaching staff and DePodesta is expected to add front-office personnel.
