10 Scary MLB Offseason Scenarios: Soto & Fried To The Dodgers, Vlad To The Astros & More

[@gelo_b95]

As a Dodger fan, yes getting Soto would make our roster the greatest of all time but we don’t need him. We need depth in our rotation and bringing back Teo is more practical.

[@joserussbriones4672]

You need to deferred every penny to get Juan Soto and he does not want to go to Dodgers only East Coast

[@Julianamado1]

@@joserussbriones4672Dodger fans don’t want Soto, even though he has openly said if there’s one player he would want to play with it’s Shohei. East coast could have him 😂

[@russdance7959]

The dodgers are quickly becoming the Yankees. The evil empire! They will be hated soon

[@actionvj]

Another great one Jim. Thanks. 🫡

[@brandonedwards4517]

I'm all for your Braves scenario and you know he would extend all 3 of them but the question is How would he pull it off? He would no doubt have gut the farm system Rotation Sale Strider Crochet Lopez Schwellenbach Near unhittable Lineup: Acuna Albies Riley Olson Ozuna Robert Bichette Murphy Harris The Braves 2023 lineup was called one of the greatest of all time and tied the home run record w/ 307 This lineup would blow that into smithereens

[@sonnycorleone2602]

Jim Riley, Great show. I am a big Yankees fan and Pete Simonetti from NYY Underground-Yankees channel- had an idea that is possible. Yankees re-sign Juan Soto and get Vlad Guerrero Jr for first base since Yankees need a first baseman. Possible but probably will not happen in getting Vladdy in the Bronx. But if it did happen you would have soto, Judge, Stanton and Vladdy on the Yankees. Pretty lotta firepower wouldn't ya say! I think Alex Bregman may go back to the Astros and Corbin Burnes to the Mets or Dodgers. Just my thoughts!

[@travisgraves730]

As a Braves fan, I would love to see AA pull off those trades! Pitching and offense? Yes please!

[@gregdiamond6023]

I’d love to see AA go scorched earth. Thè Braves are already going to be playing with a chip on their shoulder. Empty the farm AA. Let’s GOOO!

[@donaldmackerer9032]

Yeah, absolutely ! 💯

[@chrishutchens5167]

Yes, if you’re talking trades, I do believe Bo Bichette will end up a braves this off season or bye trade deadline or worse case next off season .

[@jdsnowden1229]

I'm in Atlanta Braves fan and I think that is why they're not going to upgrade their shortstop position because I think they're really interested in bringing Bo bichette to Atlanta that's why I think they're not making any moves for shortstop I'm just wondering who they're going to get as a solid piece in left field because we need one Kel mix not going to get it done

[@chrishutchens5167]

@ I see posible there would just be another trade I did mention the idea of maybe you trade who you’re talking about along with cannon to Detroit for meadows and lower prospect

[@chrishutchens5167]

@@jdsnowden1229 and by the way, I think a lot of Bo having last night that year which by the way, I have some insight sources with that situation and a lot of has to do with the fact that he does not want to be in Toronto and welcome to Atlanta and I have inside sources knows that situation very closely

[@bliddiar]

@@chrishutchens5167sure I totally believe you. Really I do.

[@Mr91Jmay]

Dodgers another option for a shortstop, I think you get Adames

[@pancakejonzze]

Wow tigers set up looks fierce with Castillo and breggs ; and Castillo trade is a stroke of genius

[@MIKELIN8]

Jim, the word out of LA is that Mookie will play 2nd base next season. Gavin Lux will likely be traded, possibly in a package with Tony Gonsolin, Bobby Miller or Dustin May and prospects for Devin WIlliams. How's that for a nightmare scenario...Soto, Fried and Williams?

[@FarmerArmour]

Big orioles fan, would be cool if you talked about teams like the Rockies, marlins etc and see what they should do with their rebuild

[@donaldmackerer9032]

Any upgrade of the mets or phillies would be scary to me.

[@bliddiar]

Scariest thing as a Jays fan would be a Valddy trade, means total rebuild.

[@Tokenblackguru101]

Jays rebuild again. Is going to be a long and bad one especially they rank 23rd in the farm system.

[@bliddiar]

@ farm systems flip quickly, but yes it would be bad

[@boolanny]

this guy and most channels never include the jays into anything unless its to blow the team apart, he coulda did a scenario that real and went in on rogers not wanting to be embarrassed, they r the richest owners in baseball, we were told something big IS going to happen this year, i doubt that big thing is vladdy leaving..lol

[@ketorising81]

Mets can’t do both Soto and Burnes because of the QO’s. It would gut their international $ with Peña signing, and their early draft picks would be non-existent. This is why I think they’ll be more active in the trade market for another 1 as well as looking into Snell.

[@McFlick5150]

As a Mets fan I completely agree.

[@xxkillerdogxx]

Wrong. Only their 2026 international $ would be gone. That would not affect Pena.

[@davidjohn7510]

Possible Astro's lineup would be a daunting prospect for any opponent!

[@martynewell1181]

It will be good for the Braves getting the three players you mention but he AA have to make some moves he question himself in the long hall

[@corybabcock4263]

i know there's no realistic way it happens but the Bregman/Vlady combo would have me floating on cloud 9 if the Astros did this. i could see another title to houston with that line up, insane to see Bregman at 6 due to such a stacked line up

[@danielfryer8768]

The scariest thing is if the Dodgers do anything but I'm being biased 😂😂

[@frazerdale6343]

Braves and Dodgers scenarios the most scary. But not sure about Bo…

[@CrushDani]

Crochet scares me. He's only got 2 years of time remaining. Maxed out at 146 innings. Not exactly a huge track record of success. I'd have rather had Cease last year.

[@TheJericson01]

Hal Steinbrenner is not paying for both Soto and Alonso. That's a violation of your own rules about what is a realistic scenario

[@Cubanlu718]

That Phillies rotation is scary. #lgm

[@samuelcochrane2030]

We aren’t trading Castillo or any of our other starters, enough with that nonsense.

[@chrishutchens5167]

Actually, I don’t mind the babysitter mention that for you, Braves would bring back Max Fried and I brought the idea. Braves may be going out and making a trade with Detroit and getting Parker meadows

[@juliec1257]

Scariest for the Braves doing nothing to improve the outfield and SS and trying to get pitchers out of the bargain bin!

[@naeradahs4595]

Braves lineup

[@ariw8612]

I doubt Detroit gets Castillo because I think the only way the Mariners trade him is for a bat (why I think the Red Sox are a fit since they want to move Yoshida)

[@joshdudeguy2830]

As an Astros fan, I love Bregman but I think we need to let him go. We need to pay Tucker and Valdez. We simply cannot afford all 3. Bregman is the one among them who has the longest slumps and is more injury prone.

[@MasonHovind-oi7xu]

Cody Bradford has been Really good for the Rangers. If they do off load a contract it will be Jon Gray they are paying him 13 million right now. I think they should trade for Luzardo and sign Eovaldi so they can sign Kirby Yates back, Bochy really wants Yates back I have heard.

[@jamesbrausch9806]

Mets should sign Burns and Dodger-killer Snell. They could get Castillo from the M's for Vientos and Baty probably.

[@erkbzr]

Dodger killer?😂 last time I checked. The Dodgers took that 2020 championship from his ✋'s So I'd pump the brakes calling him a Dodger killer. Tattis? yes Dodger killer but not lately 😂😂

[@ryanc9876]

I get the Soto part, but I don't feel like Fried moves the needle much for the Dodgers. I know you like the idea, but I also feel like he'll be injured before October. I think Snell would be the scariest because he's just disgusting with his stuff. And I just can't take Bobby Miller serious with his 8.52 ERA in 2024. I'd put Ben Casparius ahead of Miller at this point. I'm so far off base with Bobby after last season. Also, gotta change Soto's number. There's no way he'll ever be 22 on the Dodgers.

[@juliec1257]

Braves are going to do anything big!

[@harmonydavis6784]

What about Buehler to the Tigers

[@Methoes123]

O's sign Freid, Buehler, T O Hernandez, and trade for Skubal.

[@frazerdale6343]

Don’t think the Dodgers will get Soto. No need to break the bank for a player they don’t need.

[@bliddiar]

You are cutting out for me too

[@explsvz4170]

The Dodgers just won it with a couple of number 2s and a great bullpen.

[@cryptobill6188]

Yamamoto is a #1 and Buehler has been a #1, has been injured, but played like a #1 later in the post-season

[@BoltonYankee1]

The Yankees won't have 3 righties hitting 3rd, 4thxand 5th.

[@TheJericson01]

Also not realistic that the Red Sox will pay for both Fried and Snell. laughable.

[@michaelmarshall8080]

Red Sox are roughly $65 million under the CBT threshold, and their CEO said yesterday that they're willing to pay the luxury tax for the right players.

[@AlexAlmonte-dm3rf]

Your cutting off

[@JadeaRS4]

None of this is going to happen. Again.

[@AlbertoHernandez-p7l]

wee NEED TEOSCAR NOT SOTO

[@willpina]

As a Brave fan, I rather have Arcia than trade for Bichette

[@TheJericson01]

Atlanta making those moves would hardly make them above the Dodgers or even the Phillies.

[@brandondillman5841]

they don't have the prospect capital to make those trades. They might be able to get Bo or Robert, but Crochet is worth more than their entire farm system right now.

[@BillDownton]

If MLB DOES NOT STEP AND DO SOMETHING IT IS TIME TO FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO DO DURING THE SUMMER BEEN A BASEBALL FAN SINCE 1968

[@samuelsandate9804]

Go away and get a life. There's more important things going on in the world than crying about millionaire athletes and billionaires owners wanting more money. Sports are a business, and money always talks. Get a life dude. These people don't even give a crap about you.
