2014-15 MLB Offseason Thread

[HUGG]

I think Wladimir Balentien's free agency next winter will be interesting, assuming he has another strong year. He couldn't match his insane 2013 (.330/.455/.779 60hr) last season, only hit .301/.419/.587 with 31hr. hit .272/.386/.572 with 31hr in 2012 as well.

He'll be 31 next off-season.

Yakult (or another Japanese team) is gonna offer him a huge deal, I'm sure. Will be interesting to see what the interest is over here.

Dontrelle retired

Yeah, that sucks. I think a stiff neck had something to do with it. Didn't appear in any Spring Training games.

Heath Bell has retired from baseball at 37.

Him sliding into the pitching mound in the 2011 All Star game was one of the most awkward baseball moments I've ever seen.

Only rivaled by the entirety of his appearances on that Showtime series.
