The Official 2025-26 MLB Hot Stove Thread

These numbers move you, but you hate Grisham and his 811 OPS and saw the most pitches on the team

Then again, Murakami's not an OF, so you're cool him, because he's not "blocking" ****** *********

But that's another story for another thread

Yeah he’s a 1B who’s not from DR. Sorry to ruin your conspiracy theories.

I want the Braves to trade Austin Riley.
He's not gonna age well and that contract ain't gonna help.

Emmanuel Clase was appearing in 70 games a year.

If he was throwing 1 ball on purpose for gambling money, and he was getting $7,000 for it, over all those appearances that’s $490,000.

Foolish, but it’s not nothing.
I’m just trying to understand it better. Half a million to throw 1 ball per outing in that context doesn’t seem AS stupid.

But it’s still bad.

it is when you eventually get caught and banned for life. with his current contract if the team picked up his team options its worth around 38 mil, yes risking that for 490k is stupid
