It is expected to be another busy offseason for the Arkansas baseball team.
The Razorbacks must replace several departing position players with transfers from other programs, and it would not surprise for Arkansas to have multiple players transfer away.
We will update this page throughout the offseason to update on the Razorbacks’ latest personnel movement.
