Official MLB Offseason Thread

Talk your team's trades/releases/signings/firings/hirings/anything you want.

Sox traded Getz and Fields for Mark Teahen the other day. Also bought out the rest of JD's contract. Sad to see him and Getz go, but glad to see we got a guy that can play Right and Third.

Plus one of my favorite moves so far, re-signed Kotsay.

Good idea on this thread....

Rumor has it the Phillies have a 25 year old, World Series MVP by the name of Cole Hamels on the block. Also, heard that the Phillies are still showing interest in acquiring Roy Halladay if they can move Hamels. I would love to see Cliff Lee and Halladay combo. Ahhhhh gotta love early off season rumors.

New ownership seems to be the only real news for the Cubs.

Rumors flying around about a 3 team deal that moves Bradley to Toronto and brings Castillo to the Cubs, but I find this difficult to believe.

Even rumblings of him going back to Texas.

No matter what, he CAN'T be back next year, so if I am any other team I just wait for him to be released rather than deal.

Other than that, I doubt the Cubs do much of anything.

Too much dead weight, and crappy contracts, with no dough to maneuver.

Hudson locked up, as well as the yearly signing of random bullpen guys, and there are rumors that Valaquez may be next for an extension. Which means hopefully the Braves can fool someone into taking Lowe and/or Kawakami off their hands. I'd like to rent Jermaine Dye for a year for insurance for Haywood and drug LaRoche, then set his clock 5 months ahead to get him to think April is really after the All-Star break.

    • I'm more impressed with the UDFA that the guys they have drafted in the first the last 2 years. A whole lot of prove it is still needed before any improvement should be talked about seriously.
    • Sure.    ignore that he said this roster wasn’t good in 2023 to 2024 but keep up the effort
    • While I don't believe its a must win, (we have been better on the road this post season) it is definitely A NEED TO WIN the longer this series goes the more pronounced the Canes advantage on rest and health will be! If we hold serve at home in games 1 and 2 guaranteeing a 6 game minimum series for them if we lose the road games..... by the game 4 and 5 I expect them to be beat they have played A LOT OF HOCKEY the last three years, they have MINIMAL rest off a more physical than one might have expected series vs the leafs.... you know Tampa took their pound of flesh in round 1 from them. Combine all that with the fact that even though this year's canes squad isn't as talented as last years this IS a better squad than the one they swept last time that had McKenzie Mckeathern on line 1 Turbo with a broken hand a banged uo and eventually concussed Slavin (and even though it was a sweep 6 OTS and 4 1 goal losses is hardly dominant)  This year Bob hasn't been superman (hes probably gonna still have a great save percentage agiast us just a side effect of our style) Thatchuk is maybe 50% (3 game winners agiast us) their defense no longer has Gudas and several other downgrades.  While the Canes have a healthy and performing Svechnikov along with other big guys to counteract florida like Carrier, Jankowski, Robinson.   I by know means think it will happen but I either see this as a low scoring dog fight or a series were the canes surprise and end up dominating.
