The Hot Stove League Thread

[Mo]

Figured it's time to start a thread where we can discuss all the trades, signings, a rumors for the offseason.

[The Big Squeezy]

Grady Sizemore's $9mil option was declined today so he's a free agent, and we picked up Fausto Carmona's $7mil option.

I hope Grady does well wherever he ends up. I fully expect him to sign elsewhere and return to his 2008 form and tear it up for the next 5 years.

Hopefully Rios and Dunn are traded.

Not going to lie, wouldn't mind seeing Grady in a Cubs uni if for the right price.

Have always been a fan of his, just a solid player all around and good character guy. Im sure he has some great years left in him.

No doubt, but it seems as if that knee of his is made out of paper clips and bubble gum. I heard that he's going back to the doctor that did his micro fracture surgery for something, which isn't a good sign. It's a shame, I always liked (and still do) Grady, he's one of the ultimate "what if" players.

Derek Lowe - GONE!

Send to the Indians for, I don't even give a damn what.

Probably for Jason Kipnis and Justin Masterson.

Fausto Carmona and Derek Lowe is the same rotation? Lol, ok.

I doubt LA can really do anything this offseason, but please, please, lock up Kemp and Kershaw. That would make me a happy camper.
