Offseason Hot Stove 2024-25 Thread

I wonder is Anderson can transition to the pen
I wonder if AJSS can be a starter
I wonder if....

Like I said, it is a shame that a team with this much talent can't find a way to fill a few holes without wondering.

Welcome to baseball. Every team that didnt annex Japan has issues.

Welcome to baseball. Every team that didnt annex Japan has issues.

The Braves have 1.5 out fielders to start the season with, the worst qualified hitter playing short and 2 pitchers down from the starting rotation.. I would be fine with wondering on one or two maybe.. but with a month to go before pitchers and catchers report, we are wondering on all of them... That doesn't take into account the pen is short and being anchored by a 35 year Iggy...

Mets interested in Scott now. Just move on to next option bc we aren't winning that one.

Maybe they should just start trying out all the prospects and call it an off season... Maybe Elder can play LF until Acuna is ready.

AA looking up Jordan luplow's number now

Especially now that the option to play Riley in left and Adrianza at third is off the table. Zack Short also off the table.

Just sign Bregman and move Riley to left.

Will he sign for 360k?

Sure. Give him the Bonilla deal. Defer everything for the next 50 years.

He came up as a SS not sure how he would do over there now.

Go get Correa and Lopez from the Twins and just eat all the money to cut down on how much we send back.

Prefer Scherzer anyways, if we’re going with A Designated Old.

I don't even want verlander, but he was rumored to be one of the signings a week or so ago

He was the one that failed the medicals for us.

Board is really going to melt down when someone scoops up Lance Lynn, Jose Quintana, and Kyle Gibson before us.

I don't expect anyone at this point. I think AA doesn't foresee Acuna and strider being elite this season, so he's holding money just in case they are at the break. I think it's a terrible strategy, but he isn't answering my texts to advise against it.

The Twins have to shed payroll, so they’re going to have to make a move. I’ve wondered if they’re our hold up, since we have so many targets on their roster.

Verlander got $!5 million from the Giants. Same as Morton got from the O's. Inflation is a bitch.

 

[Tapate50]

Verlander had a bad year but wasn’t far removed from a CY right ?
