It’s that time of year again - that time when a group of armchair baseball analysts come together for three days and simulate the upcoming MLB offseason, complete with exercising or declining options, non-tendering players, making trades, and signing free agents to ridiculous contracts. That said, I was called nuts by some the first season I participated in this simulation. That season, I helped the Diamondbacks make a last-minute score, stealing Zack Greinke away from the Dodgers by offering the right-hander a contract for six years and $186 million. It just goes to show, some of these monster deals are not nearly as hair-brained as they might first appear.
