Osuna is pencilled in to start next year as things Currently stand. So is Sanchez. Bullpen is effectively completely gone with Hawkins retirement.

I'm not a fan of moving Osuna into a starting position, both for his development and team success. He's been very solid as a closer and gives us one of the bets in the league. As a starter it seems a little early in his career and if he loses confidence and struggles it could really kill his progression and every thing that's gone right so far in his career.
It also kills our bullpen and requires us to spend decent money on a closer that will
hopefully be as good as Osuna was this year. If this happens it seems very rushed and not the right way to develop him and will likely be a financial decision over a development decision, as he started to look shaky after about 5 batters when he went multiple innings this season.
I'm no expert but he seems like the type of player you bring along slowly, he's only 20 years old. God I hope this team isn't in shambles next year. I'll be as optimistic as I can, but it's tough.
