Arbitration Decisions:

(Age, 2025 stats)

LHP Josh Lawrence (29, 32.2 IP, 3.03 ERA, 22 K, -0.1 WAR) - Lawrence pitched pretty well for us in September, but much of that was due to allowing a low BABIP. He's decent as minor league depth, but not really worth a major league deal, so he will be non-tendered.

RHP Jared Hopper (34, 33.1 IP, 7.02 ERA, 21 K, -0.3 WAR) - Hopper missed the first half of the season with a finger injury, and never got in a rhythym after returning. He was decent in 2024, but he will be non-tendered.

RHP Steve Steen (30, 41.2 IP, 0.65 ERA, 54 K, 1.3 WAR in AAA) - Steen dominated in AAA, but was downright awful in Columbus this year. He doesn't want to negotiate, and he will be non-tendered.

1B Jose Tapia (27, .278/.320/.348, 4 HR, 50 RBI, 76 wRC+, -0.8 WAR) - Tapia got off to a hot start this year, but his hitting is not nearly good enough as a poor defensive first baseman. He will probably be non-tendered, but he may return on a small deal.

SS Robert Reyes (28, .235/.342/.321, 7 HR, 45 RBI, 103 wRC+, 2.1 WAR in AAA) - Decent numbers in AAA, but wants too much money. He'll be non-tendered.

LF Alex Roberts (30, .266/.386/.386, 8 HR, 41 RBI, 137 wRC+, 2.1 WAR in AAA) - Roberts played pretty well last year, but spend almost all of 2025 in the minors. Non-tendered.

CF William Lizarraga (28, .287/.332/.379, 7 HR, 56 RBI, 29 SB, 89 wRC+, 2.9 WAR) - Lizarraga is still a cheap asset, and is coming off a much-improved season. He will be signed one way or another, but due to our outfield depth he may be a candidate to be traded, to fill another hole in the lineup.

Free Agent decisions:

C Michael Decker (29, .277/.370/.376, 3 HR, 28 RBI, 88 wRC+, 1.2 WAR) - Decker surprisingly ended up as our best-hitting catcher after a great finish to the season. Since we have Pedro Guzman and Ivan Gonzalez returning, we probably won't sign him to a deal.

RF Myles Fenty (42, .316/.393/.603, 18 HR, 58 RBI, 159 wRC+, 2.2 WAR) - Fenty will be remebered as the original star to the Classics franchise, but at his age and health, we just can't bring him back. Right now he wants too much money, but if he's willing to come back on a much smaller deal he could potentially be a dangerous bat off the bench.

RHP Jake Jones (31, 77.1 IP, 3.72 ERA, 66K, 0.0 WAR) - Jones was a reliable innings eater in the bullpen, but he's nothing more than an average pitcher. We have plenty of depth in the minors, so we'll probably just let Jones go.

RHP Julio Lambruschini (41, 76.1 IP, 5.07 ERA, 32 K, -0.2 WAR) - Bad presence in the clubhouse, and we couldn't release him without paying his vesting option. Good riddance.

SS Tony Palacios (32, .236/.295/.350, 5 HR, 36 RBI, 69 wRC+, 0.7 WAR) - Another bad clubhouse presence, at least he turned it on in September, but we'll look for a replacement in free agency.

2025-2026 Offseason
Free Agency Filings through Rule 5 Draft

Transactions:
Traded 3B Chris Rathert and SS Arturo Montemayor for SP Pantaliao Eliseu and 1B Nate Nottage. San Jose was looking to cut payroll, and we jumped at the opportunity to acquire a talented starter. Last season, Eliseu had a 4.41 ERA in 190 innings pitched, striking out 159 and walking only 39. He'll be 31 years old, and is due to be a free agent, but we may try to extend his contract before the season begins.

Traded CF William Lizarraga to the Scouts for 1B/OF Keith Rodriguez. Losing Lizarraga hurts, but we're hoping this was an opportunity to sell high. Rodriguez hit .313/.377/.481 in his age-31 season, and should add a lot of power to our lineup.

Traded C Pedro Guzman to Chicago for minor league SP Alex Rodriguez, and minor league 3B John Blair. This was mostly done to free up payroll, but Rodriguez may be a quality lefty reliever or potential starter in the future.

Drafted LHP Jonas Dingman in the Rule 5 draft from San Antonio. Dingman had a 2.30 ERA in AAA last year, striking out 106 in 74.1 innings. At 27, he's probably reached his potential, but we didn't have many good lefty arms in the system.

Around the League:
-The Owls traded RF Luis Pineda (.276/.331/.428, 18 HR) to the Shockers for SP Tim Weber (4.51 ERA, 173.2 IP).
-The Monarchs traded 1B John Valenzuela (.231/.287/.392, 18 HR) to the Jackals for SS Ivan Vidal (.248/.315/.341, 5 HR).
-The Thunderbirds traded two minor leaguers to the Waves for 3B Willie Nolasco (.264/.334/.382, 14 HR).
-The Spartans signed the reigning WL MVP, 2B Salvador Rico to an 8-year deal worth $329 million. Last season, Rico hit .339/.422/.545 with 21 home runs and 125 RBIs.
-The Emeralds signed the best pitcher available, 30-year old righty Brandon Willoughby, to a 6 year deal worth $190.9 million. Willoughby won 15 games with New York in 2025.
-The Gamblers signed Aaron Balic (.340/.409/.505, 16 HR) to an 8-year deal worth $203.8 million.
-The Robins signed RP John Traxel (1.71 ERA with Orlando) to a 3 year deal worth $20.7 million.
-The Scoprions signed 3B Danny Ocampo to a 4 year deal worth $42.2 million. Ocampo hit .266 with 26 home runs for Omaha last season.
-The Seals traded 1B Mike Boardman to a 2 year deal worth $36.8 million. Boardman hit 30 home runs in 2025 for the Heroes.
-The Heroes signed 3B Elijah Fambro (.228/.361/.420, 21 HR) to a 2 year deal worth $27.2 million.
-The Robins signed RF Jim Rolston (.313/.362/.521) to a 5 year deal worth $80.9 million.
-The Heroes signed 1B Adam Rhom (.292/.404/.501) to a 2 year deal worth $34 million.
-The Robins signed South Korean RP Su-chang Dokko to a 3 year deal worth $12.24 million.
-The Gamblers signed Japanese 1B Takemi Yamasaki to a 4 year deal worth $58.4 million.
-The Robins signed SS Danny Camacho (.303/.389/.447, 9 HR) to a 5 year deal worth $80.5 million.
-Former Classics reliever Jeremy Townsend signed a 3 year deal worth $10 million to join the Gamblers.

2025-2026 Offseason
Rule 5 Draft through Spring Training

Transactions:
Signed 1B Bob Roberts to a 5 year contract worth $149.5 million (opt out after year 2). After missing out on the other big free agents, we were able to bring in one of the game's premier power hitters. Roberts blasted 53 home runs with New Orleans last year, and he will hopefully be a force in the middle of a lineup that had no power a year ago.

Signed RP Dylan Daniels to a 2 year contract worth $7.2 million. Daniels returns to Columbus after a successful 2025, and his ability to pitch multiple innings will be useful once again this year.

Signed IF Patrick Perry to a 1 year contract worth $1.5 million. Perry hit .283/.333/.441 in part-time action last year with Tulsa, and he will be a useful player against right-handed pitching.

Signed C Michael Decker to a 1 year contract worth $1 million. After trading Pedro Guzman, we needed a second catcher, and Decker was very solid as a backup in 2025. He'll compete for the starting role against Ivan Gonzalez in Spring Training.

Signed SP Mike Brisson to a 1 year contract worth $.28 million. Brisson is likely to take a spot in the rotation with a good Spring, as he posted a 4.19 ERA for Oregon last year.

Signed RF Carlos Rodriguez to a 1 year contract worth $7.8 million. The 37-year old veteran will likely serve as the team's primary DH against right-handed pitching, and he was great in 2025, hitting 33 home runs for the Comets in a comeback season.

Due to these signings, we had to remove the following players from the 40-man roster:
LHP Miguel Aguilar
OF Juan Viera
C Hector Meza
1B/OF Myeong-hwan Park

Around the League:
-The Heroes signed 40-year old 2B Chris Hart to a 2 year contract. Hart hit .245 with 18 home runs for the Monarchs last season.
-The Robins signed RP Israel Games (1.81 ERA with Omaha) to a 3 year deal worth $23.2 million.
-The Vandals signed 1B Dave McCabe (.281/.344/.480, 20 HR) to a 2 year deal worth $7.76 million.
-OF/DH Myles Fenty signed with the Explorers on a 1 year deal worth $10.5 million, as he will be recovered from his knee injury in time for the season.
-The Explorers traded three minor leaguers to the Owls for 1B Ewan Vermeulen (.284/.349/.429, 18 HR).
-The Jackals signed South Korean OF Sang-hyuk Park to a 7 year deal worth $72 million.
-The Waves traded LF Taketoshi Segawa (.304, 12 HR) to the Explorers for three minor leaguers.
-The Seals signed SP Xavier Hayward (10-6, 4.16 ERA with LV) to a 1 year deal.
-The Impact traded 3B Scott Cheek (.292/.363/.445) and a minor leaguer to the Spartans for 2B Trevor Damm (.335/.368/.486).
-The Vipers traded 2B Travis Giovinazzo (.273/.357/.471, 19 HR) to the Monarchs for SP Alex Jimenez (203 IP, 3.68 ERA, 146 K)
-The Waves signed RP Jonathan Jacobs (44 saves with Omaha) to a 3 year deal worth $22.9 million.
-The Waves signed RHP Dan Lusk to a 1 year contract. The 38-year old missed last year with an injury, but had a 2.71 ERA in 2024.
-The Heroes signed SP Justin Doane (5.09 ERA) to a 4 year contract worth $53.6 million.
-The Robins signed SP Desiderio Courado (10-7, 3.26 ERA) to a 6 year contract worth $156.8 million.
-The Vandals signed RF Justin Lysne (.302/.351/.496, 29 HR) to a 3 year deal worth $45.6 million.
-The Heroes signed LF Shane Maddern (.311/.379/.433, 11 HR) to a 4 year deal worth $42.8 million.

Spring Training 2026:

Around the League:
-Jackals SP Sam Tomlin is out 4-5 months with an elbow injury. Tomlin had a great 2025 season, going 14-6 with a 2.61 ERA.
-Foxes RF Maurice Sullivan is out 5 weeks with elbow tendinitis. Sullivan hit .336 with 28 home runs last year.
-Owls LF Ryan Fertig is out 6 weeks with a strained shoulder. Fertig hit 23 home runs last year, driving in 71 with a .313 average.
-Vipers SP Cameron Baker is out 4-5 months with a shoulder injury. Baker struggled to a 5.96 ERA last year, although he won 10 games.
-Owls RP Dante Starkes is out 2-3 months with torn triceps. Starkes had a 2.36 ERA out of the bullpen last year.

2026 Opening Day Roster
(Age, B/T, 2025 Stats)

Starting Pitchers:

Min-ho Lee (29, R, 167.2 IP, 3.22 ERA, 124 K) - Lee mostly stayed healthy last season, and the knuckleballer will once again be the ace of our rotation. Although he didn't repeat his brilliant 2024 season, he was still one of the most effective pitchers in the league.

Pantaliao Eliseu (30, L, 190.0 IP, 4.41 ERA, 159 K with SJ) - Eliseu joins the Classics with one more year on his contract, and will hopefully pitch like someone that wants to earn a big paycheck at the end of the year. Eliseu is known as a finesse pitcher, with one of the most devestating changeups in baseball

Sergio Torres (30, L, 175.1 IP, 4.41 ERA, 98 K) - Torres is another soft-tossing lefty, and his first season in Columbus was a moderate success. He can't go really deep into games, but he's great at avoiding big innings, as he only allowed 9 home runs last season.

Evan Downey (24, R, 115.2 IP, 4.59 ERA, 64 K) - Downey's pinpoint control was on display in his rookie season, as the righty only allowed 29 walks. However, he served up 21 home runs, and will need to keep the ball in the park if he wants to have a better sophomore season.

Mike Brisson (29, R, 174.0 IP, 4.19 ERA, 140 K with ORE) - Brisson is coming off a much improved season in 2025, and he projects to be a solid all-around pitcher. He doesn't throw a great breaking ball, but his cutter/changeup combo is good enough to compliment a mid-90s fastball.

Relief Pitchers:

Dylan Daniels (35, R, 82.2 IP, 2.83 ERA, 69 K with COL and BOI) - Daniels returns to Columbus after being traded last season, and will likely open the season as our closer with Ramon Salazar on the Injured List. Daniels is versatile enough to be used in multiple roles, as he is capable of pitching multiple innings.

Marcos Archuleta (26, R, 74.0 IP, 4.38 ERA, 65) - Archuleta's first full season didn't blow anyone away, but he was consistent enough to spend the whole season in the majors.

Nathan Ludwig (25, R, 67.1 IP, 3.34 ERA, 83 K in AAA) - Ludwig had a great season as the AAA closer, and he will get his first shot in The Show in 2026. He can touch 100 on the radar gun, and has the potential to be a lights-out strikeout pitcher.

Jonas Dingman (27, L, 74.1 IP, 2.30 ERA, 106 K in AAA) - We took a shot on Dingman as a Rule 5 selection, as his minor league numbers were too good to pass up. With Mike Roberts injured to start the season, he will open as the best lefty out of the bullpen.

Alex Rodriguez (27, L, 172.1 IP, 3.45 ERA, 172 K in AAA) - Acquired over the offseason, Rodriguez has pitched as a starter in the minors, but will begin this season as our second lefty reliever.

Andy Castillo (26, R, 142.2 IP, 5.99 ERA, 91 K) - Castillo managed to make the team with a decent spring, but this time he will pitch out of the bullpen. Our scouts still like his potential, but after two lackluster seasons in the rotation, a change had to be made.

Danny Chaves (25, R, 162.1 IP, 2.49 ERA, 155 K in AAA) - Chavez was great in AAA as a starter, but due to injuries he will claim the final spot in the USBL bullpen. If needed, he would be capable of making a spot start.

Catchers:

C/1B Ivan Rodriguez (24, S, .217/.318/.380, 4 HR) - Gonzalez played well in the minors last season, and will open as the primary catcher. His most impressive attribute is his eye, as he is great at taking walks (.367 OBP in AAA).

C Michael Decker (29, R, .277/.330/.376, 3 HR) - Decker returned to the Classics after receiving little interest in free agency, and he is the ideal backup catcher with decent hitting and good defense.

Infielders:

1B Bob Roberts (32, R, .320/.407/.645, 53 HR with NO) - Roberts was one of the best home run hitters in baseball last year, and he should add a lot of power to a lineup that struggled after Myles Fenty got injured. He might not repeat last year's 53 home run output, but he did hit 42 in 2024 with the Scouts.

2B Manny Batres (36, R, .262/.351/.341, 4 HR) - Batres was solid when healthy, but only managed to play 90 games after suffering a knee injury in August. He won't hit for any power, but a decent on-base percentage and good defense makes him a valuable starter.

3B Glen Gault (24, R, .294/.340/.447, 16 HR in AAA) - After a successful season in the minors, Gault will make his first appearance in the USBL this season. He won't play every day to begin the season, but he'll challenge Corey Neu for playing time if the veteran struggles like last year.

3B Corey Neu (31, R, .231/.326/.363, 13 HR) - Neu struggled for most of last season, and was benched for Chris Rathert down the stretch. Rathert is gone now, so Neu will get another chance to open the season as the starter at third base.

IF Ron Goldman (29, R, .258/.336/.385, 10 HR) - Goldman can play just about anywhere on the diamond, but he'll open this season as the starting shortstop with the departure of Tony Palacios. Goldman was cold for a large part of the season, but ended the season as our best hitter in September, hitting well above .300.

IF Patrick Perry (32, L, .283/.333/.441, 7 HR with TUL) - Perry has been decent in two seasons as a backup, and he'll serve that role here as a left-handed hitter off the bench.

Outfielders:

LF Jose Chaparro (26, L, .342/.367/.441, 4 HR, 17 SB) - Chaparro was the biggest surprise at the end of last season, and worked his way into the leadoff spot. As a result of our offseason acquisitions, his playing time will be reduced, but he is still very good contact hitter and baserunner.

LF/1B Keith Rodriguez (32, R, .313/.377/.481, 20 HR with NM) - Rodriguez was acquired for William Lizarraga, and while this hurts our defense, his power and overall offense is a big improvement.

CF Adan Corella (24, L, .272/.329/.368, 5 HR, 19 SB) - Corella's rookie season got off to a very slow start, but he finished the season as a solid everyday starter. Even when he isn't hitting, his excellent outfield defense makes him a solid player.

RF Ben Grates (26, L, .309/.366/.535, 23 HR, 14 SB) - A knee injury cut Grates' first full season short, but last year the 26-year old made his first All Star game, and looks like a star in the making.

RF Carlos Rodriguez (37, L, .264/.367/.501, 33 HR with SPO) - Rodriguez was brought in late in the offseason, and he will likely be our primary DH against right-handed pitching. He struggled in 2024, but hopefully the veteran still has something left in the tank.

Injured List:

Ramon Salazar (32, R, 63.2 IP, 3.53 ERA, 70 K, 28 SV) - Salazar suffered a sprained ankle that will keep him out for 1-2 weeks, but he should return as our closer by the end of April.

Mike Roberts (28, L, 24.2 IP, 2.55 ERA, 23 K) - Roberts was expected to be our best lefty out of the bullpen, but elbow inflammation will keep him out for the first month of the season.

Curt Koonts (28, R, 89.2 IP, 5.02 ERA, 63 K) - Koonts struggled after an excellent season in 2024, but he still has the potential to be a solid long reliever and spot starter. He'll miss the first two months with an elbow injury.

Projected Lineups:

Corella CF
K. Rodriguez LF
Grates RF

C. Rodriguez DH

April 2026 Update:
Record: 17-6, 1st





After two years of mediocrity, we began 2026 with the best month in franchise history. We have the most runs scored, and the fewest allowed, so the hot start has been an all around effort. Our prized free agent, 1B Bob Roberts, took home the EL Hitter of the Month Award after a scorching hot April, and other newcomers Carlos Rodriguez and Keith Rodriguez also hit very well at the top of the lineup. The only position of weakness has been catcher, although Ivan Rodriguez did start to pick it up with a few home runs at the end of the month. Unfortunately, rookie 3B Glen Gault hasn't impressed so far, and he may be headed back to the minors if things don't turn around.

Starting pitching has been inconsistent, but fortunately the bullpen has been outstanding. Min-ho Lee has been extremely strong as an ace, and Pantaliao Eliseu had a dominant start before suffering a minor injury. Ramon Salazar has come back strong after missing the first week with a sprained ankle, and other guys did well in the closer role in the meantime. Our two lefties, Alex Rodriguez and Jonas Dingman, have each been better than expected, and their ability to pitch multiple innings has been useful.

Injury Report:
SP Pantaliao Eliseu is out for one more week with a strained oblique. Juan Dominguez was called up from AAA, and he has turned in two nice starts. Depending on Evan Downey's next start, Dominguez may have a chance to stay in the rotation after Eliseu returns.

RP Curt Koonts was transferred to the 60-day IL to make room for Dominguez in the 40 man roster.

Around the League:
-Gamblers SS Aaron Balic ended his hitting streak dating back to last season at 26 games. The big free agent signing is hitting .348 for his new team.
