2024-2025 Offseason Thread

Well, we’re out of it (who knew?). Off-season is on for us. Lots of needs, no budget, etc as usual.

rinse, repeat

we have fill basically all positions in the organization too…

[Nick]

Kemp Alderman has 4 HRs in 3 AFL games.

[rmc523]

Nick Gordon and Jonathan Bermudez elected free agency.

Braxton Garrett has an elbow impingement.

I definitely think they should give Soroka a 2 year deal. Doesnt necessarily have to be team friendly or player friendly.

Dude was elite after moving to the pen. 2.75 ERA, 15 K/9. 2.8 FIP.

It's the type of signing that can net the team a haul down the line.

We’ve apparently reached an agreement with Diamond on a TV deal for next season. No details were released.
Broadcasts will also be rebranded FanDuel Sports instead of Bally Sports

[Todd]

Cardinals hire Jon Jay away.

one of the sites brought up Yoan moncada as a buy low free agent signing and i would love that. He's going to have his team option declined, but the guy is super talented yet injury prone. Give him a 2 year deal and see if we can get a few good years at 3b. He's still only 29.

Probably a pipe dream but Ha-Seong Kim would be the best possible signing they could make as well. Also coming off an injury filled year, but if you could add Moncada and Kim, i'd take that and run to spring training and see what happens next year. He just turned 29, so a 4 year deal wouldnt be crazy from our perspective. He's at 10.5 WAR over the last 3 years, including this year when he missed 40 games.

Hi guys

Hi guys

Hey man.

Mish says the finalists for Marlins manager are Will Venable and Craig Albernaz. Both seem like decent enough options. Venable is pretty highly thought of as a future manager, but my guess would be they go with Albernaz because he has history with Bendix and Kapler, and we know Bendix has an affinity for guys he knows.

Oh so not Gabe Kapler who was all but penciled in by those not on the inside?

instead they are going to likely go with....... kapler's right hand man for his last job for 4 years with the giants. it's possible kapler just doesnt want to manage.

White Sox chose Will Venable as their manager.

[Todd]

Albernaz it is.

moncada's option was officially declined. think he makes the most sense for 3b considering the budget.
