Re: The official Hot Stove League Thread 2025-26 Offseason

Absolutely insane career for him. Did make his pro debut until he was 24 yo and made it in Mexico. Then went to Japan and pitches there for YEARS. Did not pitch Stateside until he was 31 yo. :shock: Now has a $45 million deal at age 34. https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=sua...

Re: Who would you rather have at 2B?

Despite a quiet set of winter meetings, the M's are "not done yet".
