2018-2019 Hot Stove Thread

[countryboy]

Ok I know typically there is a Hot Stove/Winter Meetings thread, but since not all the teams are done playing, I thought we could have a postseason discussion/plans discussion thread, because honestly I didn't know where else to put them.


Adam Wainwright wants to pitch again in 2019. Apparently he and the Cardinals are going to sit down and discuss options. I'm hoping he gets a one year deal and they put him in the bullpen, where he could spot start occasionally. Hoping if they do this, it will keep him off the DL.

Also the Twins have fired Paul Molitor

Mel Stottlemyre Jr out as Mariners pitching coach

Dave Magadan out as D'Backs hitting coach

I feel like Milwaukee will go for a splash at starting pitching. Dont know how much they do this offseason, if anything at all, considering the prospects they still have.

Patrick Mooney of the Athletic reporting that MLB/Manfred could make a decision on Addison Russell soon, and possibly before the end of the playoffs.

Also said that the sense around the team is that Russell has played his final game as a Cub.

Good riddance to him.

The D-Backs are going to actively listen to offers on Grienke (understandable) and Goldschmidt (WTF?!)

Harold Reynolds was on MLBN losing his mind over the loss of the idea of the franchise player. It was pretty funny just how intense he felt about it. "WHAT DOES YOUR ORGANIZATION STAND FOR?" They stand for making money, and hopefully winning in the process Harold, where've you been?

ESPN hired Jeff Passan. First Woj, now this, and Shams just went to the Athletic. Tough times for Yahoo.

Yeah I saw that. Amsinger and Leiter were totally cracking up!

Re: Postseason transactions/plans discussion thread

Goldschmidt is 31, just had a great season and has 1 year left on his contract, if the D-backs want to go full rebuild then now would be the time to trade him for a big haul.

Re: Postseason transactions/plans discussion thread

I wish Goldschmidt played the outfield. Just thinking about him on the Braves along with Freddie's OBP abilities is just....a helluva fantasy.
