The 2019-20 MLB Hot Stove Thread

[King Poetic]

Boston don’t care

Especially with their on spy gate investigation going on with cheating in 2018

they’ll purposely tank to hope the talk about cheating stay on the Astros

 

[mastermind]

i wasnt aware they low balled him, how did they offer?

Originally an 8 year/200 million offer after the 2017 season.

 

[Kang Deezy]

Why ?

They intentionally fall back twice every decade to build up thier talent depth to go on a 3-4 year run.

They dont mind having a losing season plus I'm sure they'll build the rest of thier talent depth after they trade off Sale, Rodriguez, Eovaldi & Bradley this summer

pretty much. Go back to youth and scrappy players and build around devers and xander...

dombrowski really hamstrung the franchise into a bad spot with the price and eovaldi contracts as well as the sale extension

he also completely destroyed our farm system

I haven't seen the Braves win a fukking playoff series in almost 20 fukking years now. In that same time frame, the Red Sox have won FOUR fukking World Series championships. Now their fans wanna act like they're the fukking Pirates. fukk Boston sports and their fans.

Look how the Yankees avoided the luxury tax or whatever the fukk it is called for how long. They built their team via the farm system and made smart trades after years of spending top dollars on free agents. Now they finally added Cole as the piece they need to potentially put them over the top. Boston is going to try and do the same. fukking fickle ass sports fans.

Originally an 8 year/200 million offer after the 2017 season.

But yet they found money to pay these other cats that sure as shyt didnt deserve it ?

This fukking pitching staff man

 

[The War Report]

Cashman should never ever trade with Seattle. They give us nothing but damaged goods. Paxton been injury prone.

The Red Sox, sources said, were spooked by a medical review of Graterol, the hard-throwing 21-year-old right-hander who has undergone Tommy John surgery and missed time in 2019 because of a shoulder injury.

@TrillaMonsoon pulled the plug.

 

[god shamgod]

Cubs got one , Davis and Marquez are the highest ceiling pitching and position prospects the cubs have had since prior/wood and Báez and Bryant

 

[Regular_P]

Finally going through, though a little differently than originally planned. Dods are taking Graterol.



Sox officially paying HALF of Price's salary. My god what a steal for LA.

 

[Super Cheech]

LA made the deal even better for themselves.
