The offseason is heating up, and the recent non-tendering of Kyle Finnegan by the Nationals has sent shockwaves through the baseball community. An All-Star closer just a year ago, Finnegan's exit raises some serious questions about the direction of the Nats and the value of relievers in today's game.

What do you think this move signifies for the Nationals? Are they clearing space for a bigger play, perhaps saving up for a star like Juan Soto? Or is this a sign of a deeper rebuild?

On the flip side, the Reds and Royals have made a trade involving Brady Singer and Jonathan India. This could be a game-changer for both teams. How do you see this trade impacting their respective futures? Are the Royals finally making the right moves to build a competitive roster, or is this just another gamble that could backfire?

And let's not forget about the other non-tender candidates like Jordan Romano and Austin Hays. With teams increasingly hesitant to pay up for arbitration-eligible players, do you think we’ll see more All-Stars hit the free-agent market in the coming years?

Bold prediction: I believe we might see a trend where teams prioritize younger, cheaper talent over established stars, leading to a significant shift in how rosters are constructed.

What are your thoughts? Are we witnessing a new era in MLB roster management, or is this just a temporary phase? Share your insights and let's dive into the implications of these moves!
