The new year is almost here, which means it’s time to start thinking about how things could go in 2026.
Maybe that means you want to run more. Or read more books. Maybe learn a new hobby or apply yourself more at work.

And, as of now, it looked like the biggest upgrades will have to come internally given the team’s lone external offensive acquisitions have been re-signing Austin Hedges and signing Stuart Fairchild to a minor league contract.
