MLB 2025/26 MLB off season thread: Son of a Bichette

Jeff Kent mentions Dale Murphy and Don Mattingly for HOF, but absolutely no mention of Barry Bonds... his former teammate.

Only being able to vote for three on the veterans committe is lame. If you're on the list with other decent players, you're screwed.

TV reported Pirates offered Schwarber 4yrs for $100 mil. Do they have enough supporting cast to make it worthwhile?

Welp, looks like the white Sox are getting Roch Cholowski next year

Don’t really want skubal but I’ll take him too.

This is great for the sport and MLB fans everywhere.

It is really. The 10 or so teams that don’t bother to spend any money and bank revenue sharing are even better for baseball.

Yep.

Pete Alonso signing with Orioles: Mets slugger lands five-year, $155 million deal

The five-time All-Star opted out of his Mets contract this winter

5 years $155 million for Alonso. Must have been waiting to see what Schwarber would get. Guess $30 million a year is about the going rate for a grip and ripper these days.

Lmao @ the Mets. Joto is going to demand a trade next.

Feel like the dodgers are going to make a big trade this offseason. They’re loaded in the minors and some players don’t really have a path to the majors. Can’t wait for cans to cry about them buying players after. Lmao

imo

 

[My Spot]

lol at the Mets losing the face of their franchise to Baltimore. All those NY marks still don't realize that Cohen only bought the team so he could get his precious casino. Even their immediate families bought it!

On MLB Network, Steve Phillips said umps should wear pitch com earpieces so they can get set to really follow the pitch they know is coming in order to call it correctly. The umps as is already seem corrupt with their bullshit calls. No way can they be trusted with pitch selection knowledge.

I'm a Mets fan and the only move that bothers me is the Diaz move. Why sign Willams for similar money. I like the Nimo trade didn't care for him. Alonso fuck him.

They're soon just gonna be props with AI telling them what the correct call is through an earpiece. When you think about it, they're probably the most useless officials of any sport. Not much "interpreting" needed in Baseball. Ball, Strike, Safe, Out, Foul, Fair. That's it. A machine can do it, and since MLB is getting all "replay" crazy, they may as well just rid of the umps and save us all some time watching them get corrected.
