MLB Trade Rumors

If you thought the MLB hot stove would temporarily switch to the off position for the holidays, think again.

After all, some teams still have needs to be met, and the number of days until pitchers and catchers report to spring training is dwindling. It should come as no surprise, then, that there has been speculation around the league regarding potential trade targets. 

Not even the holidays can completely halt MLB trade talk.

The offseason doesn't shut down, but don't expect another flurry of deals before New Year's Day. After all, general managers are actual people with families, so landing that left-handed reliever can probably wait a week. 

As we approach the end of December, there is still work to be done in what has been one of the most eventful MLB offseasons in recent memory.

After a busy month of November, we saw a whirlwind four days in San Diego for the winter meetings, and the big moves have kept coming in the days since as 2014 draws to a close.

The beauty of the MLB offseason is that you never know if the biggest move of the winter has been made.

With most of the quality free agents already inked to fresh money, general managers around MLB are formulating trade ideas that will help improve the product on the field.

With the flurry of moves that the Los Angeles Dodgers have made this offseason, it's difficult to hone in on just one.

After all, some of these deals were interconnected, a web of swift transformation ushered in by the metric-minded tandem now running the front office at Dodger Stadium: Andrew Friedman and Farhan Zaidi.

The MLB hot stove continues to burn up, as the San Diego Padres made a number of trades over the past few days. But are more moves on the way?

Bleacher Report's Stephen Nelson caught up with MLB national columnist Scott Miller to discuss which big-name players could be moved this winter.

Still months away from pitchers and catchers reporting, the MLB rumors surrounding some of the biggest trade targets are hotter than ever.

The hot stove has been set ablaze with rumors swirling about both Cole Hamels and Troy Tulowitzki. Even recent acquisitions by teams might be up for discussion with the San Diego Padres looking to deal one of their biggest assets.

This is going to be an offseason Major League Baseball fans look back on with a smile. With the exception of a few teams, virtually every franchise seems to believe that contention in 2015 is possible. It's why trades and signings have been happening more rapidly than we are used to. 

The freshest batch of rumors is in, and the reports suggest that a couple of potent bats could be on the move in the months prior to spring training.

Several teams have been aggressive in reshaping their rosters. The Los Angeles Dodgers, Chicago White Sox, Toronto Blue Jays, Oakland Athletics and San Diego Padres have been extremely busy upgrading and reshuffling in order to get the most talent on their respective rosters. The smartest teams use a mix of free agency and trades to make changes.
