Re: 2024-2025 Hot Stove Thread

If we miss out on Soto, I've gotten very intrigued by the idea of an Arenado or Bregman (not at Bregman prices) while moving Raffy to DH.

Re: 2024-2025 Hot Stove Thread

Sox have increased their offer to Soto in both years and dollars.

Don't know what the initial offer was, but it's higher now.

Kinda funny.

Could be 10 years $550 million to 12 years $640 million. Or 10 years $500 million to 14 years $700 million. Who knows!

Not my money, bring in Soto!


I am also curious at a Nolan Arenado and Teoscar duo if we miss out on him.


Send two lotto tickets back to the Cardinals.

Teoscar 3 years $58 million.

Send Abreu & Casas for Crotchet.

Sign Snell 5 years $142 million.

Jarren LF
Wong C
Devers 1B
Teoscar RF
Nolan 3B
Yoshida DH
Story SS
Grissom 2B
Ceddanne CF

Campbell
Teel
Hamilton
Refsnyder

Snell
Houck
Crotchet
Crawford
Bello

Giolito, Fitts, Coop all can find their way in as depth.

Bullpen we need to address as well. At least 2-3 names brought in, not named Justin Wilson.


Not in love with this, but it'll compete. I would much rather be unrealistic, and do this.


Sign Juan Soto 13 years $715 million. $20 million deferred each year over 25 years post contract. That brings yearly salary down to $35 million per.

Trade Marcelo Mayer, Miguel Bleis & Hunter Dobbins to Toronto for Vladdy Jr & Bowden Francis.

Trade Abreu, Crawford, & Hamilton to White Sox for Crotchet.

Sign Blake Snell 5 years $142 million.

Trade lotto ticket to MIN for Christian to return.

Sign Sam Haggerty 1 year deal.

Sign Tanner Scott 3 years $40 million.

Jarren LF
Wong C
Soto RF
Devers DH
Vladdy 3B
Casas 1B
Grissom 2B
Story SS
Ceddanne CF

Campbell
Vasquez
Refsnyder
Haggerty
Yoshida

Snell
Houck
Crotchet
Bello
Giolito/Fitts/Coop

Tanner Scott
Liam Hendricks
Rest of pen currently on 40-man


I can't believe I just went through all of this [emoji23] Red Sox have me some type of way right now.

Jays supposedly did the same.

This 100% feels like he/Boras knows where he wants to go but is just getting/using others to drive up the price.

Dodgers get Blake Snell because of course.

Re: 2024-2025 Hot Stove Thread

Dodgers have $900 million in deferred money before Snell’s deferment.

This is becoming ****ing outrageous… When the **** will MLB step in and do something about this??

I must be one in the few that really doesn't mind or care what the Dodgers are doing.


Good on them for figuring out the system, and having an owner who gives a ****.


I hope they win the next 6 World Series in a row because they have a competent ownership group. Everyone else needs to step it up, they don't need to do anything or "step in".

I hate to say it but I agree. And the more star talent they add, the more it becomes an even more attractive destination for free agents.

The Yankees right now are just hoping they can land Soto but haven't done ****. After that loss they should be in on everyone but they are fine with the status quo. Which is why they'll never win a WS with this group.

Meanwhile the Dodgers just won a World Series and are retooling.

I think that's the thing, though.

We as Red Sox and Yankees fans... Have seen our teams do this before? Lol. That might be why we aren't as sensitive as opposed to teams who never spend above $120 million.

Oh yea for sure. I mean it's irritating to watch. But no other team is trying to put as good a product on the field as the Dodgers are and the results speak for themselves.


The Dodgers ownership wants it. They won the bidding war for Ohtani and Yamamoto. Now they've added Snell among others. And you gotta give it to them. They are absolutely loaded and not close to done.
