MLB's hot stove is downright scalding so far this offseason.
A handful of the best players in baseball have been on the move already, while the biggest name in the 2022 free agent class decided to stay put.
While it briefly appeared that Aaron Judge could be headed to the Bay Area, the slugger ultimately re-signed with the New York Yankees on a whopping nine-year, $360 million deal.
As for marquee players on the move, Jacob deGrom ditched the New York Mets for the Texas Rangers. Steve Cohen and the Mets wasted little time replacing their former ace and acquired a three-time Cy Young winner in Justin Verlander. The Philadelphia Phillies made the first move in the MLB shortstop sweepstakes by inking Trea Turner to an 11-year, $300 million contract, and the San Diego Padres followed suit by acquiring Xander Bogaerts on an 11-year, $280 million deal.
