How about for players who have a higher value than those of Raley and Minter and other one-year guys, but still might be a year or two off?
Because those two certainly do have 2027 value, but free agents from this offseason can offset that loss.
I know my Germans, and if a guy whose name ends in -herr isn't German, well, I'll eat my mütze.

Originally drafted as, signed by, developed by, and played five and half years for The Phillies, because of course.
For what it's worth, Davey Johnson decided to make Roger McDowell a reliever, and if you believe his book Bats, the main guy he consulted on it was Keith Hernandez.
