Welcome to Episode 46 of Tablesetters! Devin and Steve are back to bring you up to speed on all the latest MLB offseason buzz, with major signings, blockbuster trades, and swirling rumors that are reshaping the landscape of the league.

We kick things off with the New York Yankees making a huge splash, signing star left-hander Max Fried to a monster 8-year, $218 million deal. With Fried now anchoring their rotation alongside Gerrit Cole, the Yankees are making a clear statement. But does this move cement them as the team to beat in the ultra-competitive AL East? Devin and Steve dive into the ripple effects this deal could have on the division.

Meanwhile, the Boston Red Sox made waves of their own, striking a bold trade to acquire White Sox lefty Garrett Crochet. Boston parted with highly touted prospects Kyle Teel and Braden Montgomery to get their guy, but did they give up too much for a pitcher with untapped potential or not enough? We break down the risk, reward, and what this means for the Red Sox’s future.

Trade rumors are also heating up around Kyle Tucker, the Astros’ star outfielder. Could Tucker truly be on the move? If so, which teams are realistic landing spots, and how might this shake up Houston’s roster-building strategy as they aim to stay atop the AL West?

But the headlines don’t stop there! Japanese phenom Roki Sasaki has officially been posted, and MLB teams are already scrambling to land the ace who could become a franchise cornerstone. Where might Sasaki land, and what does this mean for the international pitching market?

Plus, we break down:

Nathan Eovaldi re-signing with the Texas Rangers — what does this mean for their quest to get back to the World Series? Andres Gimenez heading north to the Toronto Blue Jays — how does he fit in their plans? The Washington Nationals winning the MLB Draft Lottery and securing the No. 1 pick for 2025 — what does this mean for the window opening to contend?
