The 2013-14 MLB Hot Stove Thread

[HHR]

From all the stories and scouting reports I read he's WAY better.

Sorry, he's not going to be "WAY better" than a top 10 pitcher. He can be good, but that kind of hype is setting up for disappointment.

I hope the Mariners sign Cano and then trade for Price. The fans deserve something good to happen after the Smoak, Montero and Ackley disasters.

Plus spreading out superstars is only good for the game imo. A rotation of Felix, Price, Iwakuma is bonkers.

I don't know why we don't see more...or any...HUGE short-term deals.

If I were a team trying to lure Cano, or another superstar, away from the bigger market teams, I'd consider offering something 5/$150...I wouldn't really have a problem going over $30M a year for a player of Cano's ability either.

He's average over 6 WAR a season since 2010, and at the current market price, 1 WAR is about $7M.

I wonder whether some of these players would consider 5/$165 over these 7 or 8 year offers at significantly lower AAV. Cano being 31 may be a little different, but even in his case he'd be in line for another healthy 2-3 year contract at age 36.

That's what I'm saying.

 

[Street Knowledge]

I'm sorry but I'm not giving cano ten years.

 

[Walter H White]

Granderson to Mets!

 

[PTBG]

MLB free agency is easily the best brehs!!!!

 

[jfkennedy]

So Beltran got 3 yrs./$45 million with the Yankees. And apparently some other team offered him 3 yrs./$48 million and he turned it down.

3 Team Trade between the Diamondbacks, White Sox and Angels

Mark Trumbo + 2 prospects to Diamondbacks
Adam Eaton to the White Sox
Hector Santiago and Tyler Skaggs to the Angels

Thoughts:

Brandon Arroyo possibly going to the Mets ( ) or Reds.

 

[ineedsleep212]

More trades

Rockies traded Drew Pomeranz for Brett Anderson.

 

[WaddupDoe!]

I think my Angels might have finally got pulled a good trade off. Two young arms for Trumbo. We got power with Hamilton, Pujols ( hopefully 100% healthy) , Trout, and Freese.

We also save some $$$ so we can sign Trout to a 100 year $10,0000,000000 contract

 

[Grifter]

Reports saying Mariners won't trade their top prospect and Price won't sign an extension if traded there.

 

[Captain Crunch]

Reports saying Mariners won't trade their top prospect and Price won't sign an extension if traded there.

Smart, it's foolish as hell to trade Walker for Price.
They're better off signing Choo; making a trade for Ethier, then getting a defensive CF like Gutierrez.

 

[THASTUNNA]

Mariners just signed Hart
