Good morning, Camden Chatters.
The hot stove season continues to sputter along in drips and drabs in the week before the Winter Meetings, when the action will hopefully pick up pace. And while the free agent market has been mostly stagnant so far, one group that’s been more active than the rest is starting pitchers, where five veterans have signed big league contracts. The Cardinals alone have signed three of them, making their biggest splash yesterday by inking right-hander Sonny Gray to a three-year, $75 million deal. That comes on the heels of St. Louis also inking Lance Lynn and departing Oriole Kyle Gibson, plus the Phillies re-signing Aaron Nola for seven years and the Tigers landing Kenta Maeda for two.
