The MLB Hot Stove is really burnin right now.
So far, the New York Yankees have gone back to their big spending ways and have signed the likes of catcher Brian McCann and former Red Sox CF, Jacoby Ellsbury.
With Ellsbury leaving Boston, I would imagine they go hard after Shin Soo-Choo.
The MLB Winter Meetings are coming up and many deals are done during those meetings.
What trades/signings do you expect to see in the upcoming days/weeks?

It looks like Robinson Cano will not be headed to Seattle. I would imagine that Cano will be heading back to the Bronx as it appears they are the only team that is really in the "mix"

I thought he was still deciding. Personally... I'd take a fifty mill pay cut to play out New York. However, 250mill and 300mill doesn't sound like a big difference to me. To me, either way I look at it... It is a lot of effin' money.

Well, given an asking price of 300mill and then signing for 240mill. You wouldn't think he would take that with that over inflated self worth.

Now that Robinson Cano has signed, do any teams make a run at Phillips? I have a feeling that Phillips is gone during the Baseball Winter Meetings.

I believe he is gone now. The Yankees are going to be hard charging to get him. I am afraid they don't have much to offer in terms of prospects though. It will be interesting to see what we get out of him.

Sounds like Choo to the Rangers is a very solid possibility as well. Reports I've heard were that talks between Choo and the Rangers were at a "critical" stage

Honestly, I don't expect either of them in a Reds uniform next year. However, I prefer in a different division or league where we don't face them multiple times a year.

The Reds have met with the agents of both Choo and Arroyo with hopes of bringing them back. However, since they couldnt unload BP, the signing of Choo will be very difficult.

I guess they haven't spoken to the Yankees. I'm surprised the Yanks aren't chomping at the bit for a decent Cano replacement.
