Sox bullpen will be greatly improved. Would feel a whole lot better headed into the year with a #2 starter.

Don't worry they aren't done yet.

Per Jon Heyman, Zobrist decision possible by week's end. Nats, mets, giants, maybe dodgers wait with interest.

Go get Shelby Miller and call it an offseason DD.

Why the asking price is probably Yoan Moncada, Andrew Benintendi AND Eddy Rodriguez?

OK I was exaggerating a little but it's close. He asked the DBacks for Pollock and Blair for Miller and Vizcaino. And asked the Dodgers for Joc Pederson and Cubs for Soler. The Braves have shown no sign of backing down on their asking price.

And after that came out: Atlanta is asking both for a young, “impact bat” (Moncada/Benintendi) as well as a “Major League-ready starting pitcher” (Eduardo Rodriguez) in trade talks, per the report.

Re: 2015 MLB Hot Stove thread

I could easily see the Mets just sitting on the sidelines this off season and going with their current squad......seeing if once again they could use their pitching to hang in until the trade deadline and then try and move one of the young aces for a legit hitter.

I don't like that strategy....and it's not going to work IMO, but I could see it happening.

Don't forget...this is the Coupons who own the Mets.

So Yoan and Johnson? Not all the three you mentioned...okay. I know the reports, I was mainly kidding around.

Marlins said to be seeking "5 or 6" great young players in trade for Jose, one gm says. Many MLB ready too. Per Jon Heyman

Edit: Tigers GM Al Avila tells Detroit reporters that they are out of Cespedes and Alex Gordon talks. Per Bob Nightengale

Maybe if he wasn't coming off of TJS and shoulder/bicep stuff last year..

Just to put it in perspective, 5 or 6 "great young players" in a package from the Cubs would look like Soler + Baez or Schwarber then any three or four of Gleyber Torres, Billy McKinney, Albert Almora, Willson Contreras, Duane Underwood, or Eloy Jimenez. Lol no thank you

The Marlins are doing what they should be, asking for a franchise-altering return for a guy who, even with the injury history, has a great deal of upside in the future. Who knows, maybe there's a team out there that bites.

Kris Bryant and Maikel Franco have filed service time grievances against the Cubs and Phillies respectively. Service time manipulation they say.

Probably too much cake in yearly value. I think the Tigers will wait things out and hope the prices come down, but I don't expect anything at this point. The Tigers may be comfortable going into the season with Tyler Collins/Gose platoon, but I'm not. Collins wasn't exactly lighting things up in AAA or in the majors last season; more likely than not he turns into one of the many bench/AAAA OF the Tigers have pumped out over the years.

I like the Mark Lowe signing, they were probably bidding against a team offering 4-4.5 M AAV over 3 years. Need another lefty in the bullpen as well.
