Offseason Hot Stove 2024-25 Thread

I'm fu*kiming lost. I thought this was the SD SS. When is the new/old/middle aged Kim I know signing and where?
 
I was confused a few weeks backs when someone said there was an early January deadline for Kim to sign…
 
I used to agree about AA’s willingness to spend big on short term deals until I saw Buehler get what he did and we didn’t even give him a look as far as I’ve read.

If they don’t mind overpaying for short term deals then AA must really have not believed Buehler was worth a one year gamble or he really just didn’t want to be a Brave.

Or we don’t want to spend any money cause of the tax and wait until next year to find a better long term fit for our roster.

To me Buehler was a perfect gamble this year.

A bounce back candidate that won’t hurt your long term flexibility if he doesn’t work out.

At this point I’m hoping for Profar and a RP.

Of course Sasaki would be the dream catch but we all know that isn’t happening.
 
I wouldn't normally see Tanner Scott as a big signing, but Alex has shown a willingness to pay for relievers. Does anyone think he might convert to starter? That seems to be the rage.

Makes sense when you only have to get through order twice these days, I guess.

I don't think Beuhler was worth it. Keep in mind with tax added on we would have been paying about 25 million for and that's just to mat h what he got. We might have had to pay more.
 
I’m fine not getting the Korean dude. Arcia will be fine batting 9th and playing good defense just like he was in 2023. It’s when he moves up in the order and plays a bigger role that he is exposed. An OF was always higher on the list than SS imo. They’ve been putting a bandaid on LF for forever it seems.

The Kim that just signed moved off SS in favor of the Kim that’s coming off shoulder surgery. When he went back to SS he wasn’t good enough to stick, and went back to 2B. He has almost no power and probably isn’t an everyday player if he isn’t a SS.

The new Kim isn’t anyone to waste any energy lamenting the fact he isn’t a Brave.

Too many Kims and they all look the same.

Not Canadian hit-maker from the 1970s Andy Kim.
