The Hot Stove is heating up! The Mets bolstering their rotation with Montas is intriguing, but is it enough? Their interest in Buehler suggests they’re aiming higher. Is Buehler a worthwhile gamble considering his recent performance? Could he regain his ace form in New York?

Speaking of gambles, the idea of Clay Holmes as a starter is fascinating. Has anyone else made a similar transition recently with success? Is his groundball rate enough to offset potential control issues in a starting role?

The Rangers adding Higashioka seems like a solid, under-the-radar move. How much of an upgrade is he over their current catching options? Is this a sign of bigger moves to come in Texas?

Meanwhile, the Astros’ interest in both Adames and Polanco raises some eyebrows. Are they preparing for a Bregman departure, or are they just exploring all options? Which infielder would be the best fit in Houston? Let’s hear your thoughts!
