The Official 2024-25 MLB Hot Stove Thread

[Remote]

I think if there's a next move that the Yankees should be attacking, it's probably Cody Bellinger.

I'm really not a fan of signing Alex Bregman. I think he's declining fast and his power doesn't translate to Yankee Stadium.
I'd also pass on Christian Walker, for sure.

Finally making moves when you’re moving into a triple a complex



Somebody explain this to me

They have to or else MLBPA would file grievance for not spending for years:

Acuña’s little brother on the Mets just got called up this year and he’s probably gonna get a nice contract before Ronald ever can.


I feel the same about Jose Ramirez. Signed his extension early, still won’t even hit $20M salary next year, is signed through 2028 and will finally hit $25M in that last season.

[Spidey Man]

I see he's trying to make his way to Queens

 

[Trust Me]

Queens bound. Worst kept secret this whole offseason.

Vlad Jr if he repeats 2024 numbers is going for at least 500M. He’s going to hit free agency at a similar age as Soto (a few months older). If Mets don’t give Polar Bear a big contract and go short term at 1B, they will be in on him. Dodgers might be in on him also with Freeman having two years left on his contract and can split 1B/DH with Vlad. Three big market teams (Toronto/NYM/LAD) bidding can take this into the 600M range

Kinda hoping Cohen can bring in Walker on a 2 yr deal with a high AAV and have him and Vlad Jr take turns playin 1st and DH’in.
