while he has a shot at Carlos Pena's club record of 46 HR, catching Pena's 121 RBI is quite the ask but he could move up as high as 2nd on this list

I was kind of hoping he'd slide over to 2B because Brandon Lowe is so atrocious at the position. Now I guess he's the only real option (not Taylor Walls LOL and Brayden Taylor turned out to not be the heir apparent) barring a trade or signing this winter.

Kind of a shock (but not a shock) to see the Rays put Ha-Seong Kim on waivers and Atlanta claimed him. Now they're off the hook in the likely event he exercises his $16M player option for 2026. Despite his star-crossed 2025, I was hoping we'd see what we thought we were getting next year.
