MLB 2024-25 Hot Stove Thread

I went looking and found a list of guys with the most stints (with appearances with another team between) with one team from seven years ago on Reddit (so you know it is true).

A guy named Bobo Newsom played for the Senators five different times. Tony Fernandez (RIP) was a Blue Jay four different times. Rickey (RIP) played with Oakland four times, as did Rudy Seanez in San Diego.

Part of me thinks Rudy Seanez is still ready to be called out of the Padres bullpen when I watch one of their games.

 

Kenny Lofton made it to Cleveland three different times.

 

Bobo played for nine teams in a 20-year career. In addition to his five Senators stints, he had three separate stints with the Browns, two separate stints apiece with the Dodgers and A’s and a partridge in a pear tree.

He actually was a four-time All-Star, and was quite a colorful character back then.

 

The list of three times was surprisingly long. Too long to post here without infuriating everybody.

 

Jim McConnell was a fellow desker at the San Gabriel Valley Tribune in the late '90s and '00s. Nice man, loves baseball. He wrote a book on Bobo Newsom.

 

Buehler?

 

Not huge news but happy for him (since I know the kid/family):

Phils add to pitching depth with 1-year deal for Joe Ross

Started in the WS (Nats '19) at age 25; pretty amazing.

1.67 ERA in 15 relief appearances after coming off DL last year, 3.77 overall (11 starts).

I'm a Phillie fan now.
