Winter Meetings start this Sunday and expected to possibly be the biggest one yet since Ohtani is a expected to sign next week which is highly likely going to cause a chain reaction of signings and trades so thought maybe it should have its own thread.
Does anybody want to give their predictions who will be traded or will sign?
Here is mine:
Ohtani - Cubs Glasnow - Cubs Soto - Blue Jays Yamamoto - Dodgers Cease - Braves Bieber - Reds JD Martinez - Dodgers Corbin Burnes - Dodgers Eloy Jimenez - Giants Now I jinxed it and a couple minor moves happen instead. lol

Glasnow Paredes Imanaga Hoskins Yuki. This is reasonable. But Im all in on Ohtani. Have been for years. He makes to much sense. But it is up to him.

Lol, true , but they still have a payroll that is currently sitting 23 million over the luxury tax , but after this season they will be 74 under so they could probably swing it and just take the mega tax hit this season .

Thinking Cease may go to ATL. Rather see him go there than STL who is still rumored to be after him. I don't like seeing the Braves continue to get better , but I don't hate them like I do STL.

I don't see the Braves doing it, they need pitching and Ohtani cannot help them in that area next year also they got a DH who hit 40 bombs last year. My guess it is the agent trying to squeeze every last penny out of these negotations with other teams and throwing the Braves in the mix is a go way to get those teams to up their offers.

I agree, Ozuna is hitting 40 and driving in 100 and making 18 million with a 16 million option for 2025 so he's pretty productive for his price tag.
