Red Sox/MLB 2025 Hot Stove - Mets land Juan Soto on 15-year, $765M deal

Fangraphs must be predicting a major fall off for Jarren Duran. They have him as the 100th best player going into 2025. That or they are a Yankee homer. They have Austin Wells, Anthony Volpe, and Jazz Chisholm ranked higher.

Even if he's half the player he was last season, he's better than those 3 hands down.

Just a strange projection from them.

Alejandro Kirk at 35?! Most of the list is a joke.

mind blowing that an AL east proven front end starter is sitting there just requiring cash and they have no interest in spending. i don't buy he'll only go to the west coast, money talks

I buy it. Speculation out of Toronto is the Jays have the highest offer on the table but Burnes is using it as leverage to see if the Giants can offer him something comparable.

Realistically he should have been signed already given how fast the market moves after the winter meetings. This doesn't usually happen because no one is interested.

Bowden is the worst insider of them all. The Yankees fired him for incompetence and his lazy "journalism" continues.

 

[JoeIsAStud]

Isn't it Devers inability to play 3B effectively that forces his move across the diamond to first.

 

[GatorMike]

Bowden's the same guy that suggested Casas, Abreu, and Wong for Crochet, right?

I buy it too and I think you nailed it with your post. Burnes probably has a handful of teams he wants to go to. Giants, Arizona and TX probably. Toronto is being used as leverage.

Texas still doesn't have their TV contract sorted out, so they're probably out for the time being, but once they get that resolved I think they might be the dark horse here.

Sugano landed in an excellent situation in Baltimore. He's become more of a ground ball pitcher in recent times and with the infield defense that the Orioles have, he will be a nice veteran piece to have in that rotation even if Corbin Burnes doesn't return to Baltimore.

Gonna be weird in the Yankees clubhouse. Cody Bellinger and Mike Stanton are now on the same team.
