Finally! Official Hot Stove League Thread

[Big_Maple]

Thank God! Open a window and get that Stinker out of here (Winker). If Flex and Marco are parts of trades to get us better I won't be shedding tears either.

Amen and hallelujah!

In the "it's definitely just a rumor" category:

Don't they have a few years of arbitration for Flexen?

Maybe this website doesn't understand what an article XXB FA is. I don't either...

No. Just recently heard this is definitively his final year of control.

Haha! Posted earlier in this thread. Guess I should have started a new thread!

Look I don't want anyone be afraid of starting new threads. If it was just one or two it would be no big deal but it was 4-5.

Teo's splits. Better power at home but better BA and OBP at home. Better 2nd half than 1st half. Two bombs in the final game of his season as we well know.

I think if there's a specific scenario and it has some energy behind it, meaning it's more than just something sodo mojo came up with off the top of their head, or Luke Arkins stating the obvious, that it should be fine to start a new thread. It's kind of hard to tell where that line is though and there are a lot of times I see threads started that don't seem to make sense. So there's probably no perfect answer here. I agree with Pharmabro that stuff does get kind of lost in the main Hot Stove thread.

I think a good middle ground is to just ask people to ask themselves first if starting a separate thread really makes sense or not. There'll probably always be unnecessary threads, but maybe we can kind of cut down on them a little bit if people use their best judgement.

Martin Perez and Joc Pederson accept QOs. The 12 remaining FAs rejected their QO.
