Finally! Official Hot Stove League thread!

Pretty bad off season for the whole division. Rangers lost a an entire 11 man unit of a football team + kicker + holder + long snapper = 14 guys.

And yet another day of Mariner inaction while other teams sign even mediocre talent. Get out your spoons, ladies and gentlemen. Dipoto will soon be scraping the bottom and sides of the dumpster!

Start watching at the 3:00 mark. Dude was kind enough to credit me about 3:25

Some rumors floating on Twitter of rumblings of a big M's trade today.

[D-train]

The trade valuation on Bryce Miller seems a little low. Zips has Bryce Miller's projection for 2023 at 2.3 WAR in only 139 innings. You have 6 years of that vs. 3 years of 3 ish WAR on Arozarena.

Bryce Miller has been working on a splitter. It might not amount to anything, but Miller is still developing.

Don't disagree but the Rays won't give us Randy without Miller or Woo imo

I agree. I'm not saying that they'll give up Arozarena without Miller or Woo. I'm just saying they probably don't need to add another prospect.

Without a trade, Randy plays LF, Railey or Baines plays DH, the other on the bench. With a trade Railey and Baines plays LF and DH. The Rays offense isn't taking that much of a hit, plus their getting SP, with some savings of the $9M, depending if they want to pay any of that.

Got it. Sure makes sense.

Ray to the Giants for Haniger and Descalfani. Ok.

Ray to the Giants for Haniger and Descalfani. Ok.

Yeah. Just saw this.

One broken down pitcher for one broken down outfielder.

Shed more salary?

“ Mariners also working on second trade with Rays, one involving an exchange of major-league position players.”

This sounds more promising.
