Definitely overpaid Bregman. Great player when he is healthy, but in 3 years, that’s going to be an ugly contract.
2026 MLB Thread + Hot Stove Off Season
Same. He’d be a good fit in Boston, but they could’ve kept Devers if that was the plan. He was already excellent here for 30k.
I like giving the kids a chance and get a pitcher.

IIRC there was a quote from the owner to the effect of when they pay someone 30m they expect them to also be a leader and that Devers failed on that front with all the business about position changes. It wouldn’t surprise me if they were willing to pay Bichette that Devers/Bregman money.

I like the move, because I think it protects against Nico leaving while adding a bat to replace Tucker. Different type of bat, but he's got legitimate experience in the post season that should help some of these younger guys.
Be curious to see if they end up moving Nico in the next week or two. All things considered, I'd rather they didn't.

Arenado traded from Cards to D-Backs for a minor league pitcher.

Should be a fun summer at Busch stadium for the best fans in baseball!

It’s interesting that nobody is willing to go big money for long years on Tucker even though he’s only 28. And this after a 2nd team is basically letting him walk.
If I am the Astros I bring him home on a deal, not state tax and all of that.
He has to be. If the 3/150 deal is real then he would be 31 and hit the open market again after just making an insane amount of money.

What I mean is he isn’t getting 10-12 years at 40m per, as was predicted. The market seems to be deciding he’s really good but not great.

Wait, what?
50 million a year just says really good?
What in the hell is happening?
Is Kyle Tucker really worth $40-50 million per?
Maybe 2021-2023 Kyle Tucker...he was great in 2024, then missed most of the season.
He was good, not great, last season and missed like 30 games.
Maybe I'm missing something.

I went on mlb.com yesterday and they said the finalists for Tucker are Mets, Blue Jays, and of course the Dodgers.
I know it's been said - but the Dodgers are killing Major League baseball right now...and it's probably going to affect CBA negotiations.

Just in case...the Dodgers can spend 50M a year on Tucker and their 2026 payroll will still be lower than 2025.
Comment shall be deferred
I have read several accounts stating that the Blue Jays have made him a long term offer. I don’t know what the money is.
I just saw the Marlins traded Ryan Weathers to the Yankees. Kind of ironic as they also once traded his father (David) to the Yankees.
Outstanding!!
