2024/25 MLB Hot Stove League


Recommended Posts

Very glad Wilyer Abreu got a Gold Glove (and as a rookie, no less).  His defense was terrific and his hitting more than acceptable, with room for improvement.  If he gets packaged for some immediate improvement like a pitcher or RH power hitter, I'll be annoyed, most likely.

Abreu recorded seven Outs Above Average, tied for first in MLB with Brewers outfielders Jackson Chourio and Sal Frelick. Abreu led the Majors in Defensive Runs Saved by a right fielder with 17, and his nine assists tied Hunter Renfroe and Juan Soto for most at the position.

So when I read that Cole opted out of his deal and then the Yankees 'brought him back' I assumed they had rolled over and added a $36 million dollar salary on an extra contract year, per the deal they signed him to five years ago.

Now it turns out the Yankees said "fine, you've opted out" and Cole said "but I don't wanna be a free agent" and everything goes on as if he never opted out???

What a crock of shit. You opt out, the contract is null and void. No "I crossed my fingers" bullshit. If he wants to return to the Yankees, new contract, from scratch. 

This is total bullshit.

It's like one of the old family sitcoms where the kid runs away from home and the parents say, okay, take care, and the kid is back in time for bed that night.
