Fontenot back would be absolutely massive

And I’d love to see whether anything changes with him with a new pitching coach

FWIW, the first two players Johnson followed on Twitter (the closest approximation we have for knowing the first two he reached out to) were Fontenot and Crews.

He’s gotta be selling an Omaha run, which is expected, but if they trust in him and his potential staff hires, the players are buying what he’s selling

That, but he also needs to trim the roster of all its fat.

There are some pink slips coming for the roster… unfortunate, but very necessary

Housekeeping for sure, but hope that involves making room for some transfers

We are already pursuing some transfer portal pitchers. It's also possible that one of the JUCO commits to arizona is in play.

I hope none are severe overreactions, especially on young players

But if JJ doesn’t think they fit in the team then they don’t fit in the team

It wont be normal for sure. The tranfer portal will make the attrition number high, but its the reality of where we are. 10 players getting processed wouldnt shock me

Thanks for the info as usual, P. I think I know the pitchers you're referring to if you posted about them in the baseball recruiting thread, but who is the JUCO commit? And any idea if we're trying to get some starters from Arizona to follow?

What players do y’all think are safe?

Definite:
Crews
Morgan
Doughty
Dugas - if he comes back

Probably safe:
Arnold
Thompson
Gio- if he comes back
Bianco- if he comes back
Drost
Milazzo

Chopping block:
Cranford
Sanford
Travinski - injury won’t be healed next year
Safford
Beloso
Wyeth

What do y’all think?

I’m not even gonna attempt to do pitchers cuz I have no idea.

Noah Turley is the commit. He's not a pitcher, he's corner IF/OF from Yavapai.

The pitchers are Dylan Heid and a guy from Oregon State whose name I can't remember. There are some other good portal options for pitchers that we aren't linked to as well.

I can't tell if there is any effort to bring guys from Arizona's roster here.
