The “Winter Meetings” began on Monday, and I put that in quotes because it’s a virtual event this year insofar as anything exists at all.

A virtual Winter Meetings is just, like, a normal offseason day from that perspective. Despite that, there were a couple of big trades on Monday.
We’ll start with the second one, which broke just before midnight Eastern.
