Corbin Burnes to Arizona, Teoscar Hernández Stays with Dodgers | Bregman to Tigers?, Santander’s Future | 50

Welcome to Episode 50 of Tablesetters! Devin and Steve are back with a packed MLB offseason update, filled with blockbuster signings, trade rumors, and teams making bold moves for 2025! The Arizona Diamondbacks just made a statement, signing Corbin Burnes to a 6-year, $210 million deal with an opt-out after two seasons. This sets their payroll at a record $190 million and positions them as contenders in a tough NL West. But don’t count out the trade rumors — Jordan Montgomery could still be on the move. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Dodgers keep their playoff hopes alive by re-signing Teoscar Hernández to a 3-year, $66 million deal. With other teams like the Mets and Blue Jays in the mix, this deal gives LA even more firepower for 2025. Over in Detroit, the Tigers are all-in on Alex Bregman, hoping to make him their third baseman. With Gleyber Torres already signed for 2025, the Tigers are positioning themselves to compete with their young core, but will Bregman seal the deal? In Washington, the Nationals have made modest moves, signing Josh Bell and Trevor Williams, but fans are hoping for more. Can they do enough to support their rising stars? Also, Anthony Santander is drawing interest from the Angels, Blue Jays, and Tigers, with a projected 4-year, $80 million deal. The Giants are also lurking for Pete Alonso, who turned down a 3-year, $90 million extension from the Mets. Where will Alonso land? Finally, the Angels are the most improved team this offseason (+6.4 fWAR), while the Padres have taken a significant hit (-10.4 fWAR). Or are they? We’ll break down what these shifts mean for the 2025 season. Stay tuned for more offseason insights, and don’t forget to follow us for exclusive content on Instagram and X @TablesettersPod!
