The official Hot Stove League Thread 2025-26 Offseason

If Jerry had any balls at all he'd tell Stanton where to stick it. Imagine being back in the olden days when people weren't afraid to speak their minds. Calling out these tight ass owners all because they wanna make a buck. If he really cared about bringing this town it's first world series he'd go to the ends of the earth & back to make this team the best it can be regardless of cost. Now that doesn't mean spending like LA & the NY Cohen's but still. The media here doesn't do themselves any favors. Probably because their afraid they'd lose their jobs. I get people wanna clown on the east coast media but at least I feel like their being true to themselves whereas people here are afraid to speak their minds for whatever reason.

This Korean guy is posting. Might be a good fit as he plays 3B, 2B. .900+ OPS the past two years but the KBO pitching isn't great.

I don't think anyone here gives two shits about Jake Bauers, but I find his career longevity fascinating.

Same with Alex Jackson who turns 30 on Christmas. In 2024 he his .122 but last season put up a .763 OPS.

Bauers also had his best season in 2025 with a .752 OPS.

The non tender deadline is at 2pm today...Does Raley survive???

Santos non tendered. Traded Prelander and Zach DeLoach for him so no big deal.

THAT IS STRANGE!

Unless he had a drop in velocity this makes 0.

He had off field issues in terms of rehab and work ethic. Good riddance.
