Finally! Official Hot Stove League thread!

I know I harp on this a lot, but why are we trading young cheap bats for veteran pitchers that are 20+ million a year when we are limiting our spending? This is one of the biggest reasons I didn’t like the Castillo trade. Yeah, it got us a fun playoff run, but apparently ownership is cool with that now and content to have playoffs once every 10-20 years.

We aren't. That's just Churchill pretending he's the GM.

What do you mean we aren’t? Mariners already made that trade I referred to.

They didn’t spend much money last season either, they are going to limit their budget, then they need to make decisions consistent with lower budgets.
