Overview
- Cashman told The Athletic there is “no indication” a rebuild should be considered after a season that tied for the American League’s best record.
- He pointed to a producing farm system and award-caliber performers as evidence the current core remains competitive.
- Cole’s anticipated return factors into the plan, while long-term contracts make a wholesale teardown impractical.
- Debate over offensive identity persists as New York led MLB with 274 home runs, and Cashman defended power production as postseason-relevant.
- With players such as Paul Goldschmidt, Trent Grisham, Cody Bellinger, Luke Weaver and Devin Williams hitting free agency, the team has narrow avenues to reshape the roster.
