Hear me out- Mike Trout ($177M+) to the Phillies for Aaron Nola (owed $122M+), Nick Castellanos ($20M in 2026).. Angels save some cash, and Phillies get a hometown HOF guy who needs a change of scenery?

Sandy Alcantara in the 2nd H of 2025- 7-3 with a 3.33 ERA and a 1.040 WHIP over 83.2 INN. Should Peter Bendix call Brian Cashman? Sandy + Ronny Henriquez for Anthony Volpe???

Ryan Weiss to the Astros after pitching for the Hanwha Eagles for two years. 21-10 with a 3.16 ERA in 46 KBO starts...10.2 K/9!

35% Chase, 37.7% Whiff, 34.7% K in 2025, ERA was 4.79 due to a ridiculously low strand rate, but the xERA for Williams was 3.09. He is willing to setup for a closer, do you anticipate Edwin Díaz coming back to Queens?

Do the #Phillies re-sign Schwarber? ⚾

What is your dream move for 2025 MLB Winter Meetings?
December 1, 2025 at 7:40 PM
Ryan Helsley to O's for 2 yrs/ $28M. I projected 2/$25M.. seems like a slight overpay given his disastrous tenure with the Mets post deadline (7.20 ERA in 22 games).

I had Cease going to Baltimore for 6/$168M and he is headed north of the border to the division rival Jays on a 7/$210M deal. Dylan is durable, and he's racked up at least 214K in each of the last 5 seasons. Two top 5 finishes in the Cy Young, the Jays are not messing around!

I want to see the Stove get hot on Turkey Day!
What is your dream transaction for tomorrow?

Chaim Bloom finds a way to get some legit pitching depth in exchange for 36 year old Sonny Gray. Cards have to eat almost half of the $41M owed, but they still shed $21M in obligations. Boston parts with Dick Fitts and Brandon Clarke for one year of Sonny, who's finished top 10 in Cy Young 3X

Could Jarren Duran and Masataka Yoshida end up in the land of Steel? I got 5 mock trade ideas for you all, article link below!

Wow! Big deal that brings some on base ability to Arlington, and an everyday 2B for Mets
November 23, 2025 at 10:43 PM
Great deal on our merch for Black Friday!

Sung Mun Song- 29 years old, hit .315/.387/.530/.917 in 2025 in the KBO. For context, three guys who came over recently and their #'s in this last KBO year-
Hyeseong Kim- .326/.383/.458/.840
Jung Hoo Lee- .318/.406/.455/.860
Ha-Seong Kim- .306/.397/.523/.921

Raisel Iglesias back to the Braves on a 1 yr/$16M deal. 1.76 ERA in 31 games after the AS break, finished the season with an elite 32.7% chase rate and 30.9% whiff rate. The closer market shifts for the rest of the league, with Williams, Díaz, Suarez, Rogers & Pagán are all still available...

Mike Elias and the Orioles trade Grayson Rodriguez for one year of Taylor Ward. Grayson missed the entire season with elbow issues, but is 26 yo and had a 30% whiff rate in 2024. He is also under control for 4 more years. Ward has averaged 2.6 bWAR w slash line of .251/.332/.451 over the last 4 yrs

Not surprised about Woody, can't stay healthy. I am surprised about Grisham, career year this season, I thought he would get four years..

Could the Mets get 2X Cy Young Winner Tarik Skubal? Or should they cross the Pacific to ink Tatsuya Imai and Munetaka Murakami? We ran some War Games for the Mets offseason, article below ⬇️⬇️⬇️
November 17, 2025 at 4:46 PM
Trent Grisham- 2X GG, .213/.313/.384 career hitter entering 2025. Signed a 1 yr/$5M deal with the Yankees, and hit .235/.348.464 with 34 bombs, but the defense slipped (-11 DRS, -2 OAA). I have projected Trent going to the Phillies on a 4yr/$64M, what do you guys think?

Congratulations to Aaron Judge, but I cannot.. must not pretend I believe him to be the deserving winner. Greatest season by a catcher in American League history... we are seeing big market bias yet again by our writers! Big Dumper is my MVP!

Ohtani has led the league in OPS and SLG for three consecutive years. Elbow surgery and pitching rehab? No problem.. 1.096 OPS in postseason, with four solid starts on the mound and the NLCS MVP. Get this guy a crown!
November 14, 2025 at 1:07 AM
Shohei 4th MVP in 5 years, at least challenging Barry Bonds (if not passing him) as the GOAT. Bonds from 2000-2004- .339/.535/.781 (241 OPS+), Shohei 2021-2025 .285/.384/.606 (171 OPS+) & 35-17 for a 2.84 ERA in 475.1 INN as a TWO WAY UNICORN. Oh yeah, + B2B WS rings.. is Ohtani the G now?
November 14, 2025 at 1:02 AM
Freddy Peralta went 17-6 with a 2.70 ERA, and is now entering a contract year. If Matt Arnold does choose to move him, where do you think he's going? Red Sox, Yankees, Mets?

Dylan Cease taking bird baths next year in Camden Yards?
More predictions here 🔽
November 12, 2025 at 12:30 PM
Nando in Boston? Can you imagine how electric Fenway would be after a Tatis Jr. bat flip against the Yankees in October?! I am here for this possibility, but he is owed $292 million (through 2034).. that is a HUGE contract to take on. Do you guys think it's worth entertaining?
