Projected openings by role, 2028
The clearest projected opening is at catcher (need 83 of 100, competition 61 of 100). 4 roles score 60 or higher for need. 0 transfers arrived in the last cycle.
| Role | Need | Competition | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Catcherworkload gap 30/30 · production gap 20/20 · depth gap 15/15 · season context 8/15 · incoming coverage gap 10/15 · staff signal 0/5 | 83 | 61 | 64 |

Need, competition and confidence are 0 to 100. Need rises with the workload, production and depth that leave after the season and falls with the recruits already mapped to the role. Confidence under 50 means the public roster detail is thin; verify against the next official roster before treating it as an opening. Last cycle: Every material workload is reconciled to official team totals, 2027 roster evidence, eligibility timing and the incoming classes that feed the 2028 and 2029 rosters.
