The Official 2025-26 MLB Hot Stove Thread

Didn't even consider the possibility. Was there even a rumor about them having interest in him?

Yea , it was always Red Sox or cubs

I thought people mentioned the Bluejays which was moot after Okamoto. Maybe I wasn't paying attention but I feel like most of baseball expected him to return to the Red Sox.

The Alex Bregman trojan horse must be studied.

I did too but the cubs beat writers have consistently said bregman was a legit possibility and wanted him since last offseason

Cubs books are clean after ‘26 they have 2 long term big contracts. The time was now

Does Shaw officially move to 2nd or OF or does Nico move to the OF?

Shaw gonna be a utility guy cuz he can play 3b/2b/ss ,improves the bench

Nico a fa after next season so Shaw can play 2b if he bounces

Unless they trade him for more pitching but the gm said he keeping him

Social media had people speculating that the Yankees might trade for Nico Hoerner.
Which would be such a Brian Cashman move.



But hey, he'd likely be way more productive that Anthony Volpe has been.

I didn't think Bregman would get more than what Detroit offered him last year but I was wrong.

 

[god shamgod]

Nope. Ew, no thank you.

Trea turner ,Harper ,Nola and schwarber after ‘26(10 & 5) all have no trade clauses all 32+ with several years left on their contracts

Should be saying no thanks to your flabby payroll instead

Scott Boras looking extra vindicated in his approach last season so far with Alonso and Bregman.

If he gets the Yankees to budge and give Bellinger 7,

Everyone hates him but his track record has way more hits than misses.
