Plus: Ohtani close to decision?
Good morning! That short porch is calling Juan Soto's name ... |
|
|
| Sometimes, the Hot Stove season just needs a little push. Now that Juan Soto is a Yankee, the baseball offseason might kick into high gear with a number of big ripple effects primed to be set in motion. |
|
|
| Four or five teams are said to be in the running as Shohei Ohtani gets close to ending a free-agent odyssey that has been shrouded in mystery and filled with intrigue. |
|
|
| Arizona and left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez have agreed to a four-year, $80 million contract with an option for a fifth year. |
|
|
| If the Padres were going to trade Juan Soto to the Yankees, they needed a sizable haul in return -- one centered around both short- and long-term pitching depth. Sure enough, they got it. |
|
|
| The young Reds are adding to their core with a veteran presence in the infield, agreeing to a deal with Jeimer Candelario. |
|
|
| Now that the Yankees have added three outfielders in two days, it seems they won't be pursuing Cody Bellinger. But his market remains robust. |
|
| | At first glance, little happened for the Mets at the Winter Meetings. But beneath the surface, president of baseball operations David Stearns said, the team made tangible progress on a number of fronts. |
|
|
| Clubs made 73 selections across the Major League and Triple-A phases at the Winter Meetings in Nashville. |

| |
|
The last blockbuster deal pulled off at the Winter Meetings also involved the Yankees landing a coveted outfielder. |
| |
|
Every Hot Stove season comes with the potential of blockbuster deals. But there have been some offseason trades throughout baseball history that have particularly stunned us, catching us by surprise and creating exciting storylines for the upcoming season. | | |
|
Dating to the birth of their first dynasty roughly a century ago, the Yankees have enjoyed a storied history of improving their club via trades. |
