2022-23 MLB Hot Stove Discussion

Hmmm,
No mention of the Playoff/WS MVP ?
Jeremy Pena should have at least been invited to the show.

Remember, voting for these awards are for regular season only. That said, great point, Peña should have finished in the top 3 at least.

I forgot its Regular season only ...
However, its not like he sucked all year ...

Looks like Pena ended up 5th with only 2 votes ... I can see no one watched the Astros this year till the playoffs.

Verlander made history as the "Only pitcher ever to Win the Cy Young without throwing a pitch the previous year".

Never really thought that was a thing ...
 
Aaron Judge of the Yankees wins the AL MVP Award and Paul Goldschmidt of the Cardinals the NL MVP Award. It is the first MVP for both players.
 
Twins unveil new uniforms. Not overstated, with a slight nod to their past. I like them.

Wow!! The Astros are signing Jose Abreu to be their new first baseman. Abreu will lengthen an already very deep lineup.

Very good chance they Keep Yuli Gurriel as well as a bench guy !

I also read a report that Mike Trout could be looking to the Astros, they do seem to want a bonified CF ... that would do it.
I had no problem with Chaz McCormick, but if they want to Upgrade, Great !

Not sure if the Stros would pull that trigger or not, it would be Quite costly I think, by the way, that report came from Trout looking, not the Stros inquiring.

I read that the Astros could retain EITHER Gurriel or Trey Mancini as a backup to Abreu and for another option at DH. And Mike Trout possibly going to the Astros??!! Yikes!!!!
