2/2 Butler’s monster 2024 finish (.302/.346/.597, 20 HRs, 14 SB in 73 G) has A’s eyeing him as a cornerstone. ‘It’d mean everything to stay,’ he says, aiming for 2025 ASG in his hometown ATL and eventual jersey retirement. Inspired by Rooker’s extension blueprint. 🌟 #RootedInOakland

2/2 Jansen, who transitioned from CATCHER to pitcher early in his career, had 27 saves, a 3.29 ERA, & a career-low 10.21 K/9 in 2023. Relies on his cutter (84.9% usage!). Ex-Dodger/Red Sox vet now leads MLB in appearances (871) & games finished (653). #Angels bet on short-term stability. 🎯

2/2 The Cubs may push for a short-term deal (à la Cody Bellinger), but Bregman reportedly wants long-term security (via Feinsand/Nightengale). If Chicago misses out, they could target Justin Turner. Where will Bregman land? Decision imminent! 👀 #HotStove #MLBUpdates

2/2 If Bregman returns, Houston's infield could shift: Isaac Paredes to 2B, Bregman at 3B, and Altuve as DH/OF. Manager Joe Espada is confident they can make it work. Bregman, a key piece of Houston's success, remains linked to Tigers & Red Sox. 🧢 #MLBFreeAgency #Astros

There's no confirmation the Blue Jays actively pursued Pete Alonso, only speculation linking them to him

2/2 Arenado is open to position changes and specific teams (e.g., Phillies, Mets, Red Sox, Dodgers), but overlaps with Alex Bregman's market are a factor. If Arenado stays in St. Louis, the Cards may shift focus to trading pitchers like Mikolas or Matz to cut payroll.
