Hot Stove Heating Up: Offseason Moves That Could Reshape the League
The Winter Meetings are just around the corner, and the rumor mill is churning. Are the Yankees really eyeing Willy Adames as a fallback if they miss out on Juan Soto? How would Adames even fit into their lineup, especially with their interest in Max Fried also coming to light? Is a rotation with Cole and Fried enough to carry them in the AL East?
The Astros are facing some tough decisions. Would they really consider trading Kyle Tucker or Framber Valdez? If so, who brings back a better haul and who is more indispensable to their future? This could be a massive shake-up for a team that is used to contending.
The Phillies shopping Alec Bohm to the Mariners for a young arm like Logan Gilbert or George Kirby seems like a win-win, but is Bohm’s inconsistency a risk for Seattle? And are the Phillies undervaluing him after a solid, albeit streaky, season?
The Rangers seem set on bringing back Nathan Eovaldi, but with so many teams interested, will they be priced out? Is Eovaldi the key piece to push them over the top, or do they need more to compete in a loaded AL West?
The Reds are openly searching for bats. With Soto likely out of reach, which free agent outfielders make the most sense for them? Is there a potential trade target out there that could make a bigger impact?
And what about Max Muncy's willingness to play anywhere for the Dodgers? Does this open the door for a potential Arenado trade, and how would that impact their infield dynamic? Where does Muncy fit best in a star-studded lineup?
Weigh in with your thoughts! What are the biggest rumors you’re buying or selling, and what moves do you predict will shake up the league this offseason?
