Team Performance

The roster features 1 All-Star caliber performer (A-grade), providing a high-end talent foundation. 5 players grade as quality starters (B-range), 10 as rotation contributors (C-range), and 1 as depth or below (D/F-range). With a star and supporting pieces, the roster has the nucleus to compete, though depth remains a factor. An active offseason with 7 moves shows the front office is aggressively reshaping the roster.
